plz i need the answer asap chemical reaction engineering

The gas phase pyrolysis reaction of ethane producing ethylene (C_2H_4) and hydrogen (H_2) is as follows: The reaction was to be carried out in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a plug flow reactor (PFR). As an engineer, you are required to analyze the use of both reactors. As a novice, you strategized yourself to perform the following tasks: Construct the stoichiometric table and express the concentration of each species in the reaction solely as a function of conversion, i.e., C_A = f(x) where 33 mol/min pure ethane enters the reactor at 6 atm and 1100 K with k is 4.32 min^-1 at 1100 K. (Assume the reaction is isothermal and isobaric). Develop the reaction rate law solely as a function of conversion i e, -r_A = f(x) (Assume the reaction follows an elementary rate law) Construct the table for Levenspiel Plot.

Explanation / Answer

A= concentration of ethane

B= concentration of ethylene

C=concentration of hydrogen

a) CA= CAo(1-X)=33*(1-X)

CB=CAoX=33*X

CC=CAoX=33*X

b) Rate law is given as :

-rA = kCA=k CA0(1-X)=4.32*33(1-X)= 142.56*(1-X)
