Question

The liquid-phase reaction

A+B ⎯⎯→ C

follows an elementary rate law and is carried out isothermally in a flow system. The concentrations of the A and B feed streams are 2 M before mixing. The volumetric flow rate of each stream is 5 dm³/min, and the entering temperature is 300 K. The streams are mixed immediately before entering.Two reactors are available. One is a gray, 200.0-dm³CSTR that can be heated to 77^oC or cooled to0^oC, and the other is a white, 800.0-dm³
PFR operated at 300 K that cannot be heated or cooled but can be painted red or black. Note that k=0.07 dm³/mol^.min at 300 K andE=20 kcal/mol.

What conversion would be obtained if the CSTR and PFR were operated at 300 K and connected in series? In parallel with 5 mol/min to each?
