Instead, determine the concentration of the product in each tank for the following configurations using the graphical method introduced in the lecture: • Reactor 1 (600 L), reactor 2 (900L) and reactor 3 (300 L). • Reactor 1 (900 L), reactor 2 (300L) and reactor 3 (600 L). • Which of the above configurations gives higher product concentration? • If 300 L reactor is the first reactor in series, what would happen?
