It is desired to produce $50mo\frac{l}{h}$ of butyl acetate by reacting ethyl acetate and butanol:

$C{H}_3\frac{C}{O}O{C}_2{H}_5+C_4{H}_{9}OH{}_{k_R}^{k_4}C{H}_3\frac{C}{O}O{C}_4{H}_9+C_2{H}_{5}OH$

Assuming a liquid$-$phase, elementary, reversible reaction, calculate the CSTR volume needed to

achieve $85\%$ conversion. The entering concentration of ethyl acetate should be $0\mathrm{.}1mo\frac{l}{d}{m}^3$ with

a $1$:$2$ molar ratio with butanol. The following kinetic information is also given:

$k_F=0\mathrm{.}04\frac{d{m}^3}{(mol)*s}$

$K_c=\frac{k_F}{k_R}=20$

To assess the dependence of the reactor design on the reverse reaction, plot the CSTR volume as

a function of $K_C$ for $K_C=1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200,500.$
