Consider a liquid-phase reaction occurring in a constantvolume, isothermal CSTR.

1. For a first-order decomposition, what is the ratio of the volume of reactor needed for 75% conversion to the volume needed for 50% conversion?

2. For a first-order decomposition, what is the ratio of the volume of reactor needed for 90% conversion to the volume needed for 50% conversion?

3. Repeat Parts (a) and (b) for a second-order reaction between reactants initially in equimolar quantities.

4. Explain the results of Parts (a), (b), and (c).
