Question: 3.) (70 Points) A CSTR reactor has to be designed for the following third-order, liquid-phase reaction: 3A B+ 2C (k = 0.2 L/mol/s) Stoichiometric feed

3.) (70 Points) A CSTR reactor has to be designed for the following third-order, liquid-phase reaction: 3A B+ 2C (k = 0.2 L/mol/s) Stoichiometric feed of A enters the reactor along with an inert I. The total inlet molar flow rate of 2400 mol/min. The mole fraction of A in the inlet, XAO = 0.65, and vo is 25 gal/min. (a) (15 points) Make the stoichiometric table for the species. (b) (20 points) Find the CSTR volume required to achieve a conversion of 0.8. (c) (15 points) How much more volume is required for a conversion of 0.9? (d) (20 points) What is the volume required for 80% conversion if we used PFR
