Question: The gas phase reaction A - - - 7 B + C follows an elementary rate law and is to be carried out fir t

The gas phase reaction A ---7 B+C follows an elementary rate law and is to be carried out fir t in a PFR and then in a separate experiment in a CSTR. When Pure A is fed to a l 0 dm 3 PFR at 290K and a volumetric flow rate of 5 dm 3/s, the conversion is 80%. When a mixture of 50% A and 50% inert (I) is fed to a I 0 dm 3 CSTR at 330K and a volumetric flow rate of 5 dm 3/s the conversion is also 80%. What is the acti- vation energy in cal/mol?
