1) The rate law is incorrect. It should be: 
2) The concentrations are incorrect, the feed is stoichiometric.
Therefore: 
3) The volume change was not included.
4) The equation for y is incorrect. There is volume change and 
can only be used when 
. Therefore, the form of the momentum balance that must be used is
