 The conversion of aqueous reactant, A, to product, P, proceeds according

The conversion of aqueous reactant, A, to product, P, proceeds according to the following rate law: rA=(0.8CA)(1+0.5CA)1, where rA has units of molL1min1. The feed stream to the reactor is expected to flow at a volumetric flow rate of 25Lmin1, with an initial concentration of A of 12 molL1. Assuming that the volumetric flow rate will remain constant throughout the reactor, all is perfectly mixed, and there is no accumulation of material inside of the reactor, what is the size of the mixed flow reactor (in liters) needed to achieve an outlet stream concentration of 0.5molL1 of A. Express your answer to one decimal place
