Question
The liquid-phase elementary reaction A rightarrow B is to be run isothermally in two reactors in series: a CSTR and a PFR, each with the same volume, V. In Case I, the CSTR precedes the PFR: in Case II, the PFR precedes the CSTR. The conversion exiting the second reactor is x_2. Determine which of the following statements is true, and justify your reasoning The final conversion, x_2, will be higher for Case I than for Case II. The final conversion, x2, will be lower for Case I than for Case II. The final conversion, x_2, will be identical for Cases I and II. The information given is insufficient to determine which Case will provide the higher conversion.Explanation / Answer
For a given isothermal reaction with the same volume
X2 will be higher PFR > CFR, but it is not mentioned that at
Which temperatures the case 1&2 are carried out
More over rate of reaction also depends on which temperature the reaction is taking place
So....we can get different results ,when the reaction temperatures are changed, in case 1&2 so..
It will be uncertain to say anything
Option (D) will be the answer
