Question

Choose the correct answer

The irreversible gas phase reaction A + B -> C has been carried out in an isothermal batch reactor with constant pressure and the following data have been produced (same data as in the previous task):

x                            0      0.2      0.4    0.6      0.8

-rA [mol / l, h]       0.1   0.05   0.02   0.01    0.004

Estimate the total volume of two tanks connected in series for 50% conversion of reactant A after the second tank. The turnover after the first tank is 25%. The input flow consists of equal parts A and B and the input molar flow of A is 6 moles A / hour.
Group of answer options

a. The total volume of the two tanks is about 100 liters.

b. The total volume of the two tanks is about 200 liters.

c. The total volume of the two tanks is about 350 liters.

d. The total volume of the two tanks is about 150 liters.

e. The total volume of the two tanks is about 300 liters.
