The second-order reversible reaction 2A B takes place in an isothermal, isobaric flow reactor.

Pure A is fed at a concentration of 5 mol/L. The equilibrium conversion is measured to be 60%.

a. If the reaction occurs in the liquid phase, what is the equilibrium constant, K?

b. If the reaction occurs in the gas phase, what is the equilibrium constant, K?

c. If the reaction occurs in the gas phase and an inert is added with the concentration of 5

mol/L, what is the equilibrium constant, K?
