is carried out in an isothermal CSTR with no pressure drop. The feed enters a volumetric flow rate of
vo = 5000 dm³/hour. The feed consists of half ethyl benzene (species A) and half interts on a molar
basis and is well mixed before it enters the reactor (I). The pressure in the reactor is 6 atm (so PA0 =
3 atm and P10 = 3 atm, making the initial concentration of A = 0.04 mol/dm^3). The molar flow rate of
A is FAO = 200 mol/hr. At the reaction temperature of 640 C, the rate constant isk₁= 5.92 mol/
(dm³ hr * Atm). The equilibrium constant is Kf = 9 atm and the equilibrium conversion is X₂ =
