X_A = 1-F_A/F_Ao
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Reactant Conversion - Reactant Conversion gives us the percentage of reactants converted into products. Enter the percentage as a decimal between 0 and 1.
Molar Flow Rate of Unreacted Reactant - (Measured in Mole per Second) - Molar Flow Rate of Unreacted Reactant gives the number of moles of unreacted reactant leaving the system per unit time.
Molar Feed Rate of Reactant - (Measured in Mole per Second) - The Molar Feed Rate of Reactant gives the number of moles of A being fed to the reactor per unit time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Molar Flow Rate of Unreacted Reactant: 1.5 Mole per Second --> 1.5 Mole per Second No Conversion Required
Molar Feed Rate of Reactant: 5 Mole per Second --> 5 Mole per Second No Conversion Required

What is conversion?

Conversion gives us the percentage of reactants converted into products. Conversion is defined only for the Reactants not for products, For reactant A Conversion is defined as the Number of moles of A reacted to the Total number of moles of A fed into the system(i.e. Reactor). It is a basic term in a Chemical kinetics and plays a vital role in the Chemical Reaction Engineering

What is Chemical Reaction Engineering?

Chemical reaction engineering is a specialty in chemical engineering or industrial chemistry dealing with chemical reactors. Frequently the term relates specifically to catalytic reaction systems where either a homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst is present in the reactor. Sometimes a reactor per se is not present by itself, but rather is integrated into a process, for example in reactive separations vessels, retorts, certain fuel cells, and photocatalytic surfaces.
