Type 3 Home Problem -- Solution
Problems that are over-specified.

This problem might confuse the student with excess information about the rate constant, but there is a straight-forward solution.

We begin with the design equation for a CSTR is:

Derive Equation

Following the calculations in the Homogeneous Example 1 Solution, we get the equation for the conversion:

The problem gave us every variable except for F_Ao. F_Ao is just the mole fraction of A (x_A) multiplied by the total initial flow rate (F_To).

Then, we substitute for our variables and calculate a conversion of:
