image text in transcribed (35P) Saponification reaction of ethyl acetate is performed in 200L PFR reactor at constant temperature of 1. 23.5 C. Reaction is second order and carried out according to the following mechanism (k=38102LmOl1s1). CH3COOC2H5+NaOHCH3COONa+C2H5OH Ethyl acetate is fed to the reactor at 44g/L concentration and flow rate of 120L per minute; NaOH solution is fed to the reactor at 40g/L concentration and flow rate of 180L per minute. It is known that the total density of the solution does not change with the conversion rate in the reactor. ( MWA=88g/mol;MNaOH=40g/mol; MWtan=46g/mol ) a-) Find the ethyl acetate and NaOH concentrations in the total feed stream. b-) Find the residence time ( ). c-) Find the conversion according to the limit reactant. d-) Find the molar concentrations of all components in the output stream. e-) Calculate the weight of pure Ethyl Alcohol produced in one hour
