Initial no of moles : A = 50, I = 50, B = 0.
Total Initial no of moles = 100.
Final no of moles : A=0, I=50, B=25 (note:given reaction can be arranged as A--->0.5B i.e 50 moles of A converted to B*0.5 = 25).
Total Final no of moles = 75.
Expansion factor = [(Total final no of moles-Total Initial no of moles)/(Total Initial no of moles fed to the reactor)].
So [(75-100)/100] = -0.25.
Total Initial no of moles = 100.
