 What is wrong with this solution? The irreversible liquid phase second

What is wrong with this solution? The irreversible liquid phase second order reaction (rA=kCA2) 2A4Bk=0.03dm3/mols is carried out in a CSTR. The entering concentration of A,CA0, is 2 molar. and the exit concentration of A, CA is 0.1 molar. The volumetric flow rate, v0, is constant at 3dm3/s. What is the corresponding reactor volume? Solution 1. Mole Balance V=rAFA0FA 4. FA0=voCA0=s3dm3dm32molA=s6molA 2. Rate Law (2nd order) 5. FA=voCA=s3dm3dm30.1molA=s0.3molA rA=kCA2 3. Combine V=kCA2FA0FA 6. V=(0.03molsdm3)(2dm3mol3)2(60.3)smol=47.5dm3 For more puzzles on what's wrong with this solution, see additional material for each chapter on the CRE Web site home page, under "Expanded Material
