A mixed flow reactor is filled with 10 L of an aqueous solution in which A is dissolved. When the concentration of A in the reactor is 1 mol/L, the aqueous solution containing A in the concentration is supplied to the reactor at a rate of 0.1 mol/L at 2 L/min and the aqueous solution is extracted from the reactor at the same rate of 2 L/min. In this case, calculate the time taken for the concentration of A in the reactor to decrease to 10% of the initial concentration for each of the following. However, assume that there is no change in the density of the aqueous solution depending on the concentration.
(1) If A does not react
(2) A decreases to -r_A(mol/L min)=0.2(min-1) C_A(mol/L)
