In an aqueous solution, reaction P→Q occurs under isothermal conditions following first order kinetics. The feed rate is 500 cm3/min and concentration of P in the feed is 1.5×10-4mol/cm3. The reaction is carried out in a 5 litre CSTR. At steady state, 60% conversion is observed. The rate constant (in min-1) is
A
0.06
B
0.15
C
0.21
D
0.28

Correct : b
