A simultaneous dehydration reaction of liquid 2-methyl-2-butanol (A) produces 2-methyl-2- butene (B) and 2-methyl-1-butene (C) as shown in Figure 1 was carried out in a two continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) connected in series. The dehydration of A to B occur in second order whereas dehydration to C was in first order. CH ki CH-CH=CH-CH 2-methyl-2-butene (B) CH,--CH-CH CH k OH 2-methyl-2-butanol(A) -CH=CH-CH-CH 2-methyl-1-butene(C) Figure 1 Dehydration reaction of liquid 2-methyl-2-butanol CH a) Inlet stream consists of pure A with concentration of 40 mol.dm and constant volumetric flowrate of 2 mmin-1. The concentration of A at the exit stream of reactor one was reduced to 50%. The composition of product leaving reactor one consists of 60% B and 40% C. If the size of reactor one is 5 m and reactor two is double of reactor one, determine the composition of remaining A, product B and C in the exit stream of reactor two.
