Question

Transcribed Image Text:11) Consider the second order liquid phase reaction A→ 2B occurring in a continuous reactor
with a rate constant, KA 0.125 L/mol's. The initial molar flow rate of pure A is 0.1 mol/s, and
inlet volumetric flow rate is 0.1 L/s. A conversion of 95% is desired. Assume that the reaction
is isothermal and pressure drop is negligible.
