2. At present the elementary liquid-phase reaction A + B = R + S takes place in a plug flow reactor using equimolar quantities of A and B. Conversion is 96% and initial concentrations of A and B are both 1 M. If a mixed flow reactor ten times as large as the plug flow reactor were hooked up in series with the existing unit, which unit should come first to have higher overall conversion? What would be the overall conversion by then
