10. We have an elementary, irreversible gas phase reaction of methanol and carbon monoxide to produce acetic acid to be carried out in a plug flow reactor. Initially, we forget the CO and incorrectly balance our chemical reaction, assuming a stoichiometry of CH,OH-CH:COOH. We calculate the required volume to be 50 L to achieve 90% conversion of methanol (CH3OH) when we feed an equimolar mixture of CH,OH and CO at 0.1 L/min at an initial methanol concentration of 1 mol/L. The reaction is isothermal and there is no pressure drop down the length of the reactor. a) We realize that this stoichiometry is incorrect and write our correct reaction CH-OH + CO CH3COOH. What is the corrected required reactor volume to achieve 90% methanol conversion? We can assume that the value of the rate constant is the same for both cases, although the units may change. b) If we use a CSTR instead of a PFR, what is the volume required to achieve 50% conversion
