'N' plug flow reactors in series with a total volume 'V' gives the same conversion as a single plug flow reactor of volume 'V' for _______________ order reactions?

Correct answer: D. Any

  • A. First
  • B. Second
  • C. Third
  • D. Any

Explanation

Ideal plug-flow reactors in series behave as one plug-flow reactor whose total volume equals the sum of their volumes. This equivalence holds for any reaction order, not only for first-, second-, or third-order kinetics.
