Problem 2. A first-order reaction is employed in the destruction of a certain kind of microorganism by using ozone as the disinfectant. The rate constant for destruction, k¡ = 0.1 min'. The present system employs a completely mixed flow reactor (CMFR), and there is some thought of baffling it to create a series of completely-mixed tanks. If the objective is to increase the percentage microorganism destruction from 80% to 95%, how many CMFRS are needed in series (i.e., how many completely mixed subunits should the original tank be divided into)? (Note that you will need to use a trial and error solution; you can express your answer as a range of whole numbers, like x, < n < X2, e.g., 1 < n < 2).
