Question

1. A ⇄ B + C
The above gas phase elementary reversible reaction is carried out isothermally at CSTR at 640°C. The molar flow rate of raw material A is F_A0 = 3.34 mol / min and the input concentration is C_A0 = 0.04 mol / L. The reaction rate constant k_A at 640 ° C is 0.1 mol / (Lꞏminꞏatm).

When the equilibrium constant K_P is 10 atm, find the corresponding equilibrium conversion Xe and calculate the reactor volume needed to achieve 80% of Xe.

Answer 1
