Question: The liquid - phase reaction A - > B was carried out in a CSTR . For an entering concentration of 2 mol / dm

The liquid-phase reaction
A->B
was carried out in a CSTR. For an entering concentration of 2 mol/dm3, the conversion was 40%. For the
same reactor volume and entering conditions as the CSTR, the expected PFR conversion is 48.6%. However, the PFR conversion was amazingly 50% exactly. Quantitatively show how these conversions came about (i.e., the expected conversion and actual conversion). Show the calculation as well.
