The second order liquid phase reaction A+B -> C is carried out in a batch reactor at 35oC. The specific reaction rate constant is .0445 dm3/mol/min. Reactor 1 is charged with 1000 dm3, where the concentration of each reactant after mixing is 2M. A. What is the conversion after 50 minutes? Now consider the case when, after filling reactor 1, the drain at the bottom of reactor 1 is left open and drains into reactor 2 below at a volumetric rate of 10 dm^3/min. B. What will the conversion and concentration of each species in reactor 1 after 50 minutes in the reactor being drained?
