The irreversible elementary reaction 2A > B takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. The feed is one mole of A per one mole of C, an inert. The entering temperature and pressure are 427°C and 10 atm, respectively. The gas constant R = 0.08206 atm · L/mol · K.
(a) Determine the concentration of A at the entrance to the reactor.
(b) If CA0 = 1.0 mol/L, what is the concentration of A at 90% conversion of A?
