ah, you got it. 

Now can you solve for the reactor volumes of CSTR w/ a conversion of X1=20% followed by PFR X2=65%  i have attached the work i have done so far. looks like i was wrong but i def understand better now that you explained. 

2) A) CSTR X₁ V₂ = = 20% Conversion & PFR X₂ = FAO 1 - X₁ For PFR Design Equation ·FAO FAO V₂ X₂ = CSTR → 100 = 125 — 1.8 * V₁ → V₁ - 2 (dFA₂) PFR → FAO 1 1.2 S. 285.71 100 & → = Vcstr FA(X₂) dFA = 1 1.2 = VPFR FAO - FA -TA = = 65% Conversion 100 10.20 = 100 FAO 1 - X₂ = B) Vol PFR @ X₁ = 20% Conversion & CSTR @ X₂ 80 dFA -1.8 80 - 35 == 100 1 - 0.65 = 125- 25 1.8 Total Volume = 13.889 + 154.76 = 168.65 dm³ = = mol min 13.889 dm³ [285.71-100] = 154.76 0.83 Tot Vol = 65dm³| 285.71 = 11.11 dm³ = 65% Conversion. mol min = 54.22 @ 65% conv
