Question: The second - order, elementary liquid - phase reaction 2 A k 1 A B , k 1 A = 0 . 5 L (

The second-order, elementary liquid-phase reaction
2Ak1AB,k1A=0.5L(mol.min),at300K
is carried out in a nonideal CSTR. The results from a tracer test on the CSTR are given in the table below.
\table[[Time (s),0,40,47,53,60,64,67,73,80,87,93,100,107,120],[Ciran (mgL),0,0,0.103,0.309,0.763,0.969,1.00,0.845,0,515,0.258,0.124,0.052,0.021,0]]
Pure A enters the reactor at a temperature of 300K. Calculate the conversion predicted by the segregation model.
It is known that the following elementary reaction also occurs in the reactor:
