2) As an engineer in a production facility, your assignment is to specify the size of a reactor needed to react a liquid stream (33 L/min) containing species G (concentration = 0.19 M). The goal is to produce a reactor outlet stream with a concentration of G equal to 0.04 M. To accomplish that, a second stream containing species J (concentration = 1.3 M) is also to enter the reactor but at 75% of the volumetric flow rate of the first stream, as shown. ý = 33 L/min, cc = 0.19 M - c,=1.3 M Volume = ? °g=0.04 M The irreversible reaction is: G+J→ P where the reaction rate only depends on species G according to the following kinetic relation: L 1.8- gmol/min Preaction,G Given these requirements, what size reactor (L) is needed to produce these results? (Assume equal densities for all streams.)

2) As an engineer in a production facility, your assignment is to specify the size of a reactor needed
to react a liquid stream (33 L/min) containing species G (concentration = 0.19 M). The goal is to
produce a reactor outlet stream with a concentration of G equal to 0.04 M. To accomplish that, a
second stream containing species J (concentration = 1.3 M) is also to enter the reactor but at 75%
of the volumetric flow rate of the first stream, as shown.
v = 33 L/min, cg= 0.19 M
c,=1.3 M –
Volume = ?
°g=0.04 M
The irreversible reaction is:
