Question

Stoichiometry. The elementary gas reaction
                   2A + B → C
is carried out isothermally in a PFR with no pressure drop. The feed is equal molar in A and B, and the entering concentration of A is 0.1 mol/dm3. Set up a stoichiometric table and then determine the following.
(a) What is the entering concentration (mol/dm3) of B?
(b) What are the concentrations of A and C (mol/dm3) at 25% conversion of A?
(c) What is the concentration of B (mol/dm3) at 25% conversion of A? 
(d) What is the concentration of B (mol/dm3) at 100% conversion of A?
(e) If at a particular conversion the rate of formation of C is 2mol/min/dm3, what is the rate of formation of A at the same conversion?
(f) Write -rA solely as a function of conversion (i.e., evaluating all symbols) when the reaction is an elementary, irreversible, gas-phase, isothermal reaction with no pressure drop with an equal molar feed and with CA0 = 2.0 mol/dm3 at, kA =2 dm6/mol•s.
(g) What is the rate of reaction at X = 0.5?
