Q2\ The elementary gas-phase reaction A- 2B -TA-kCA is carried out in batech reactor where 50% conversion is achieved in I hour. Pure A is charged to the reactor at an initial concentration of 0.2 mol/liter. If the same reaction is carried out in a CSTR, what volume would be necessary to achieve 50% conversion for a feed molar flow rate of 500 mol/h and an entering concentration ofA of 0.2 mol/liter?
