Question: You are considering producing compound B by the elemental reversible reaction in liquid phase: A B + C in a continuous reaction system. The diet

You are considering producing compound B by the elemental reversible reaction
in liquid phase: A B + C in a continuous reaction system. The diet consists
in pure A at a concentration of 5 M, a temperature of 50\deg C and a flow of 2 mol/s.
Determine:
a.) The system equilibrium conversion.
b.) Make the Levenspiel graph for this system
c.) It is desired to use two reactors (a PFR and a CSTR) connected in series to achieve
a total conversion of 50%(up to 25% with the first reactor and 50% with the
second reactor). In what order would you put the reactors (PFR-CSTR or CSTRPFR)? Show your proposal on the Levenspiel graph.
Additional data: k (20\deg C)=0.0011 L/(s*kgcat), Ea =100 kJ/mol, KC (50\deg C)=5 M.
