Question: The reversible liquid phase reaction A + 2 B 3 C has forward and reverse kinetics given by forward: - ( r A ) 1

The reversible liquid phase reaction
A+2B3C
has forward and reverse kinetics given by
forward: -(rA)1=k1CA0.8CB2;,k1=0.003(Lmol)1.81(s)
reverse: -(rC)2=k2CC2.6;,k2=0.006(Lmol)1.61(s)
The same reactions now take place in a CSTR with constant liquid volume V=20L(also under isothermal condition). Initially, a stream of inert liquid runs through the reactor at a volumetric flow rate Q0=2Ls.
At time t=0, molecules of A and B are introduced into the feed stream. The concentrations of A and B in the feed stream are given by
CA0(t)={0;t0
5[1-exp(-t8)];,t>0
CB0(t)={0;t0
5;t>0
where t is in s and the concentrations are in mol/L. The volumetric flow rate through the reactor is maintained at 2Ls at all times.
Determine the concentrations of all three components in the effluent stream at t=20s.
