Transcribed Image Text:

The liquid phase reversible reaction R <=>T is carried out in an ideal mixed flow reactor. The concentrations of R and T that enter the reactor are, respectively, 2.76 and 0 (zero) mol/L. The rate constant of the forward reaction is 6.86 min-¹, and the equilibrium constant, based on concentration, Kc, is 3. What is the required reactor volume (in Liters, expressed to one decimal place) that is needed to achieve a conversion, X, that is 98% of the equilibrium conversion (i.e. X is 0.98 *Xe)? You may assume that the forward and reverse reactions are elementary, and the entering molar flowrate of pure R is 18.23 mol/min.
