Question: The elementary liquid - phase reaction A + B C , with k = 0 . 0 2 5 L m o l - min,

The elementary liquid-phase reaction A+BC, with k=0.025Lmol-min, is to be carried out in a CSTR with two impellers. The mixing patterns in the CSTR are such that it is modeled as two equal-sized CSTRs in series.
Species A and B are fed in separate lines to the CSTR. Each CSTR is 200L and the volumetric flow to the first reactor is 10Lmin of A(2.0molAL) and 10Lmin of molBL.
a) What is the conversion of A exiting the first reactor?
b) What is the conversion of A exiting the second reactor?
c) What conversion would you expect if the reactor was well-mixed and could be modeled as a single 400 L CSTR?
