Not what you're looking for?
Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problem(s).
1. Calculate the volume of a CSTR and of a PFR needed to convert 10 L/min of a 2.0 M solution of A to a concentration of 0.1 M. The reaction is A --> B, the rate law is -r = k CA, where k is 0.01667 sec-1. Which is larger? Why?
2. For the reaction given in problem 2, calculate (and graph on one graph) time versus CA/CA0 from 1 to 0.001 for a constant volume batch reactor.
