A second order, elementary reaction 2A -> B occurs in a liquid phase CSTR, with the reaction rate constant K = 0.15L/mol.s. The feed concentration of A, CAo is 0.25 mol/L, the feed flow rate is 10L/s and conversion of 45% is achieved. (Give all answers to 4 significant figures until the final answer)

a) What is the molar flow rate of A in the reactor feed?

b) What is the molar flow rate of A in the reactor outlet?

c) What is the concentration of A in the reactor outlet?

d) Calculate the rate of reaction of A in the CSTR.

e) What is the required reactor volume?

f) Give the final reactor volume taking into account the significant figures.

g) If a second CSTR is added in series so that the overall conversion is 65%, What is the concentration of A at the exit of the second reactor?

h) Calculate the rate of reaction of A in the second CSTR.

i) Calculate the concentration of B at the exit of the second reactor.

j) Calculate the reactor volume of the second reactor.

k) Give the final volume for the second reactor taking to account the significant figures.
