Q5. The rate law of the liquid-phase non-elementary autocatalytic reaction A B + C is r = k CA CB. The feed contains both A and B.

(a) Calculate the volume of a single CSTR which gives 95% conversion of A

(b) At the maximum reaction rate (r) of the autocatalytic reaction, calculate the corresponding (i) conversion of A (XA), (ii) CA0-CA and the reaction rate (rmax).

(c) Plot the 1/r versus CA0-CA plot and indicate the y- and x-values corresponding to (i) zero conversion, and (ii) the maximum r as found in part (b) above.
