Batch reactor conversion Problem description: Consider the batch reactor shown in the attached figure: Reaction A --> B obeys first order kinetics with reaction rate constant given by k = 0.01 s-1 . For an initial concentration CA0 = 2.0 mol/L, what is the time required for achieve 90% conversion in a constant volume batch reactor? And 99%? present the time that the reactor takes for each conversion and what is the CA  behavior during the entire reaction, for each conversion. The conversion is defined as in the attached figure:
