The vapor pressure of D is given by PV= 16 kPa. The operating pressure is 101.3 kPa.
Let us say the reaction is a first order reaction with k = 0.1 s -1. The inlet conditions are FA0 = 10
mol/s, FB0 = 20 mol/s, Q = 1 m3/s.

After condensation:

typically much more than the gas density.
We have to calculate the total molar flow rate in gas phase. This is obtained by rearranging the
