If the conversion of a first order liquid phase reaction occurring in a CSTR is 75%, molar feed rate is 5 mol/min, the rate of the reaction is 5 \(\frac{mol}{litre.min} \) then the volume of the reactor (in litre) is ____(a) 0.5(b) 0.75(c) 0.33(d) 0.4The question was asked during an interview for a job.The above asked question is from Kinetics of Homogeneous Reactions topic in section Kinetics of Homogeneous Reactions of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (b) 0.75

To explain: For a CSTR, the performance EQUATION is FA0XA = (-rA)V

FA0 is MOLAR FEED rate and XA is the fractional conversion

5 × 0.75 = 5 × V

V = 0.75 L
