1. For our example reaction of cyclopentadiene and benzoquinone (using [B]0 = 0.120 M, [C]0 = 0.120 M, flowrate = 0.10 dm3 s-1, k = 9.5x10-3 dm3 mol-1 s-1) determine the minimum reactor volume needed for 90.0% conversion in a battery of 2 CSTRs. To do this, write out the summation of VR1 and VR2 in terms of a single variable (perhaps the concentration of the feed exiting reactor 1 and entering reactor 2).
