An aqueous reactant stream (4 mol A/liter) passes through a mixed flow reactor followed by a plug flow reactor. Find the concentration at the exit of the plug flow
reactor if in the mixed flow reactor C, = 1 mollliter. The reaction is second-order with respect
to A, and the volume of the plug flow unit is three times that of the mixed flow unit.
