Discussion
Assertion (A): Reaction calorimetry is used before scaling up an exothermic batch process.
Reason (R): It measures the rate of heat release, which can then be compared with the plant cooling capacity.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the purpose. A reaction calorimeter measures the heat release rate against time on a laboratory scale, and that curve can be compared directly with what the plant vessel’s jacket can remove - which the scaling item shows will be proportionally less. If the peak release exceeds the cooling, the process must be changed to semi-batch, diluted or run cooler before it goes anywhere near a plant.
