 AR (second order) (rate constant k1), AS (first order) (rate constant

AR (second order) (rate constant k1), AS (first order) (rate constant k2) Parallel liquid phase reactions are carried out in two CSTRs connected in series to produce R and S. In the feed, CAo =2.2mol/LCRo=CSO=0. The first CSTR has a retention time of 3.0 minutes, and the second CSTR has a retention time of 11 minutes. Since it is known that the concentrations of the components in the first CSTR are CA =0.7mol/L,CR=0.8mol/L and CS=0.7mol/L; a) Calculate the k-rate constants for parallel reactions. b) Calculate the concentrations of the components in the stream leaving the second CSTR. c) Determine A's total conversion rate
