Question C3: nuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) For the second-order, liquid phase, irreversible reaction, 2A → B (C.3) a CSTR is used. Under operating conditions, the rate constant for the reaction is 3.0 mol¹ m³ s²¹. What is the volume of the reactor required to achieve an 80% conversion of the reactant in a single-pass, if the flow rate of A is 0.2 L s¹ and its concentration is 1.0 mol L'¹?
