 Question 1 (4.0 mark) (L.O.2) A homogeneous first order gas phase reaction 

Question 1 (4.0 mark) (L.O.2) A homogeneous first order gas phase reaction takes place in a mixed flow reactor: A 2S, The feed contains 20% inerts by volume to obtain 60% conversion of A. a. If the mixed flow reactor is replaced by a plug flow reactor, all else remains unchanged, find the ratio of the plug flow reactor volume to the mixed flow reactor to obtain the same conversion (Constant pressure condition). b. If the volume of mixed flow reactor is 2 times than the original one, all else remains unchanged, find the new conversion of A (Constant pressure condition).
