The autocatalytic reaction of A to form Q is one that accelerates with conversion.

An example of this is shown below:
A+Q~Q+Q
However, the rate decreases at high conversion due to the depletion of reactant A.
The liquid feed to the reactor contains 1 mol L-] of A and 0.1 mol L-] of Q.
(a) To reach 50 percent conversion of A in the smallest reactor volume, would
you use a PFR or a CSTR? Support your answer with appropriate calculations.
(b) To reach 95 percent conversion of A in the smallest reactor volume, would
you use a PFR or a CSTR? Support your answer with appropriate calculations.
(c) What is the space time needed to convert 95 percent of A in a CSTR if
k] = 1 L (mol S)-I?
