5 m3/hr of a solution containing reactant A with a concentration of 2 kgmol/m3 for a stirred flow reactor which initially contains 2 m3 of pure solvent. In the reactor, a decomposition reaction occurs: A R + S (irreversible order 1 reaction) from the reactor exits the solution with a flow rate of 5 m/hour. Draw the system! Find an equation that expresses the concentration of A (CA) as a function of time (t), where k = 6/hour. Determine the time required for the concentration of A in the liquid leaving the reactor to reach 0.518 kgmol/m3. At that point specify CR and CS. When a steady state is reached, determine the CA leaving the reactor.
