Question: ( Batch reactor ) A batch reactor is a reactor of volume V where there areno in and out flow rates. Reactants are loaded instantaneously

(Batch reactor ) A batch reactor is a reactor of volume V where there areno in and out flow rates. Reactants are loaded instantaneously and thenallowed to react over a time T , called the residence time. Then the contentsare expelled instantaneously. Fermentation reactors and even sacularstomachs of some animals can be modeled as batch reactors. If a chemicalis loaded in a batch reactor and it degrades with rate r(C)= kC, given inmass per unit time, per unit volume, what is the residence time requiredfor 90 percent of the chemical to degrade?
