The second-order liquid phase reaction

C 6H 5COCH2Br + C6H5N⎯⎯→C6H5COCH2NC5H5Br

is carried out in a batch reactor at 35°C. The specific reaction-rate constant is 0.0445 dm3/mol/min.Reactor 1 is charged with 1,000 dm3, where the concentration of each reactant after mixing is 2M.
(a) What is the conversion after 10, 50, and 100 minutes?

Now, consider the case when, after filling reactor 1, the drain at the bottom of reactor 1 is left open and it drains into reactor 2, mounted below it, at a volumetric rate of 10 dm3/min. 

(b) what will be the conversion and concentration of each species in reactor 1 after 10, 50, and 80 minutes in the reactor that is being drained?
