02) (50 pts) The following liquid phase multiple reactions occur isothermally in a steady state CSTR. B is the desired product, and X is pollutant that is expensive to remove. The specific reaction rates are at 50C. The reaction system is to be operated at 50C. 1st Reaction: 2A 4X 2nd Reaction: 2A 5B The inlet stream contains A at a concentration (CA. 4 mol/L). The rate law of each reaction follows the elementary reaction law such that the specific rate constants for the first and second reactions are: (KIA = 0.0045 L/(mol.s)) & (k2A = 0.02 L/(mol.s)) respectively and are based on species A. The total volumetric flow rate is assumed to be constant. If 90% conversion of A is desired: a) Calculate concentration of A at outlet (CA) in mol/L (10 points) b) Generate the different rate law equations (net rates, rate laws and relative rates) for A, B and X. (15 points) c) Calculate the instantaneous selectivity of B with respect to X (SBX) (15 points) d) Calculate the instantaneous yield of B (10 points)
