The liquid phase reaction 2 A + B -> C + D is carried out in a semibatch reactor
isothermal with a volume of 1.2 m3. The reactor initially contains 5 mole of B at a
concentration of 0.015 mol/L, and then A is fed at a concentration of 0.03 mol/L and
a volumetric flow of 4 L/min. The reaction is first order in A and (1)/(2) order in B, with
a specific reaction rate with respect to A of 12(L/mol)1/2/min at the temperature
of operation. Calculate the moles and concentration of each of the species when the
reactor has been filled to a volume of 0.53 m3
.
