Assume you have reaction $A{?}^{k}B$ with reaction rate $-r_A=k{C}_A$ occurring in the four following

possible configurations of one or more reactors, each of which have the same initial concentration

$C_{A0}$ into the whole process and the same final conversion from the process as a whole $x_f.$ Draw

any sketches and$/$or to explain$/$write any logic to get full credit or earn partial credit.

a$)$ Qualitatively compare the reaction rates in specific reactors $($possibly within

configurations$)$ using the and $>$symbols. Hint: think about a curve of $-\frac{1}{r_A}$ vs $x.$ Feel

free to draw any sketches and$/$or to explain$/$write any logic, as there will be points for partial

credit.
