A liquid phase reaction, A→B, is conducted isothermally in a CSTR having a residence time of 2 s. The inlet concentration of species A is 2 moles/litre, and the outlet concentration is 1 mole/litre. The rate law for the reaction is -rA=kCA/(K+CA) where k=5 moles/litre/s.
If the same reaction is conducted in a series of two CSTRs with residence times 1 s and 0.2 s. then the inlet concentration of A, in moles/litre, required to attain an outlet concentration of A of 1 mole/litre, is
A
2.64
B
2.00
C
1.64
D
0.54

Correct : a
