The liquid phase reaction of aniline with ethanol produces wanted monoethylaniline and unwanted diethylaniline

(a) An equimolar feed is introduced into a batch reactor, and reaction is allowed to proceed to completion. Find the concentration of reactants and products at the end of the run.

(b) Find the ratio of mono- to diethylaniline produced in a mixed flow reactor for an alcohol-to-aniline feed ratio of 2 to 1 for 70% conversion of alcohol.

(c) For an equimolar feed to a plug flow reactor, what will be the conversion of the two reactants when the concentration of monoethylaniline is at its highest?
