Question: The irreversible elementary gas phase reaction A - > B + C is performed in two different experiments: the first one is performed in a

The irreversible elementary gas phase reaction A -> B + C is performed in two different experiments: the first one is performed in a PRF, the second one is performed in a CSTR. For the first experiment, pure A is fed to a 0.01 m3 PFR at 27oC with a volumetric flow rate of 0.3 m3/min. For the second experiment, a mixture of 50% A and 50% inert is fed to a 0.01 m3 CSTR at 47oC with volumetric flow rate of 0.3 m3/min.
If 75% conversion is achieved in both of the experiments, what is the activation energy of the reaction?
