Question $1$

Compare the reactor volumes for each configuration shown below for the reaction

data in the table when the molar flow rate is $283mo\frac{l}{m}in$

$x_A,-rA$

$(mo\frac{l}{d}{m}^3*s)$

What is the initial molar flow rate of $A$ in mol$/$s $(1$ marks$)?$

Calculate the volumes for the reactors in each configuration $(8$ marks$).$

Which configuration $(1$ or $2)$ would you recommend be used and why $(3$ marks$)?$

There will only be one box. You can place the answer for part $1$ in it$.$ However, your

hand calculations MUST BE submitted and should include the answers and workings

for parts $1,2,$ and $3.$
