A second order, elementary reaction 2A->B occurs in a liquid phase CSTR, with the reaction rate constant K=0.16 L.mol-1.s-1. The feed concentration of A, CAo, is 0.88 mol.L-1, the feed flow rate is 35 L.s-1 and a conversion 48% 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) Calculate the rate of reaction or A in the CSTR.

d) What is the required reactor volume?

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

f) If a second CSTR is added in series so that the overall conversion is 68%: what is the concentration of A at the exit of the second reactor?

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

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

i) Calculate the reactor volume of the second reactor.

j) Give the final volume for the second reactor, taking into account the significant figures
