The product R is prepared by isomerizing A in the liquid phase in a tank reactor: A -> R rA = -k*cA In kinetic studies in a batch reactor on a laboratory scale, i.e. in a flask immersed in a thermostat bath, experiments were made where the concentration change over time was measured. The mixture was complete and the reactor wasothermal. At an experiment with pure A and the temperature 163 ° C the following values were obtained: t (h) Remaining amount A (%) 0.5 71.8 1 44.3 2 19.5 3 9.2 4 4.0 5 1.7 Calculate using the above data the volume of an ideal tank reactor for production of 10 kg R per hour if the reactor is isothermal and has the temperature 163 ° C. The turnover of A is 97% and the input flow contains only A. Assume that the density of the liquid is constant, 700 kg / m3.
