Question: The elementary gas phase reaction, in which pure Reactant A forms Product B and Product C, takes place at isobaric and isothermal conditions. The reaction

The elementary gas phase reaction, in which pure Reactant A forms Product B and Product C, takes place at isobaric and isothermal conditions. The reaction rate constant has the unit of h1 and can be calculated via Arrhenius Equation. Reactant A is fed to a 500 L continuous stirred tank reactor, with an initial molar flow rate of 2 kmol/h. The inlet pressure is 3 atm and the inlet temperature is 730 K. The pressure inside the reactor is constant at 3 atm. Taking Es as 159 kJ/mol and ko as 9.5x1013, answer the following questions.

a) Create the stoichiometric table for this reaction. b) Calculate the conversion and the volumetric flow rate at the exit of the reactor.
