A simultaneous dehydration reaction of liquid 2-methyl-2-butanol (A) produces 2-methyl-2-
butene (B) and 2-methyl-1-butene (C) as shown in Figure 1 was carried out in a two continuous
stirred tank reactor (CSTR) connected in series. The dehydration of A to B occur in second
order whereas dehydration to C was in first order.

a) Inlet stream consists of pure A with concentration of 40 mol-dm3 and constant volumetric
flowrate of 2 m3.min-1. The concentration of A at the exit stream of reactor one was reduced
to 50%. The composition of product leaving reactor one consists of 60% B and 40% C. If
the size of reactor one is 5 m³ and reactor two is double of reactor one, determine the
composition of remaining A, product B and C in the exit stream of reactor two.
