Calculate the Conversion Rate in a Gas Phase Reaction

Question

The elementary gas-phase reaction A → 2B is carried out in a PFR.  The feed is at 400 K with an 80% A/20% B molar mixture fed at 1.0 mol/s. The reactor is isothermal at 400 K and the exit stream has a 0.20 mole fraction of A and 0.80 mole fraction of B. What is the conversion of A?

a) 45.5%
b) 20%
c) 33%
d) 80%
e) 62.5%
f) 75%

Summary

The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it is about calculating gas phase reaction of A →2B carried out in PFR. The conversion rate of A has been calculated in the solution.

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
