Question 2
The volumetric flow rate is constant here, since B is continually replenished and a single mole of C is produced for every mole of A consumed. Since the partial pressure of B is 25% of the total pressure, its mole fraction is 0.25 while the mole fraction of A is 0.75. We then have the following expressions for the concentrations:
Combining and determining the numerical values gives
(ii) At X=0.5 we have a reaction rate of (.5)(0.352)=0.176 lbmole/ft3s.
