Question

A <----> 2B (gas phase, elementary, reversible, isothermal) carried out in flow reactor. Pure A fed at 5 mol/L, volumetric flow rate 3 L/min. K1 (forward rate const.) = 8 1/min, Kc (eqil. conts) = 60 mol/ L.

 

(i) Find the rate law only in terms if X (conversion)

(ii) Find out the Xe (equil. conversion at this temp).

(iii) What is the volume needed if we use a CSTR and want to achieve 60% Xe (Equil. conversion).
