ChE 321 – Design Project 1 Pick A Rate Law, Any Rate Law The Scenario: Professor Z. O. Lite and his fabulously talented group of undergraduate chemical engineers at UND have developed a new catalyst.  In preliminary studies it has dramatically increased the rate at which  p-xylene is formed from the reaction of toluene and … Read more
