Question: A given reactant decomposes in water with a second order rate constant of k = 0 . 4 3 L / mol . s .

A given reactant decomposes in water with a second order rate constant of k =0.43 L/mol.s. If a feed stream with an initial concentration of 1.0 mol/L is passed through a CMFR at steady state at the rate of 0.1 m/s., what will be the volume required for 90 percent decomposition of the reactant? (10%) b) If two CMFRs in series each having one-half the volume calculated in part (a) were used, what would be the resulting percent decomposition of the reactant? (15%)
