plz help w/ part a i will repost for other parts

The liquid phase reaction 3R + Q→ 2P will be carried out isothermally in a CSTR reactor. Reactants R and Q and dilutent S will be fed at 60 ft³/min with the following molar flow rates: Species R Species Q Species S The rate law will be 300 lbmole / min 100 lbmole / min 50 lbmole / min -TR where CR and Co~ Ibmole/ft³. lbmole ft³ min/ = 0.1 * C² * Co Specifications of the reactor call for 80% conversion of the limiting reactant. A consulting firm hired to design the reactor has submitted a pre-fabricated CSTR reactor design with the size of 500 cubic feet that they claim will achieve at least 80% conversion for this reaction. A) Express the reaction rate equation in terms of conversion of the limiting reactant. B) Develop the design equation for the reactor as a function of the initial concentration of the limiting reactant and its conversion. C) Determine the volume of the CSTR reactor based on the given conversion and the final concentrations of all species involved in the system D) is the design from the firm acceptable? Explain why or why not.
