Question: ( a ) Three parallel liquid phase reactions with corresponding rate laws are given below for one desired D , and two undesired products, U

(a) Three parallel liquid phase reactions with corresponding rate laws are given below for one desired D, and two undesired products, U1 and U2. How and under what conditions (reactor type and concentration) should the reaction be carried out to maximize the selectivity of D?
A+BD,rD=k1CA2CB,k1=0.0075mol-2L2s-1
A+BU1,rU1=k2CACB,k2=0.0084mol-1Ls-1
A+BU2,rU2=k3CA3CB,k3=0.016mol-3L3s-1
 (a) Three parallel liquid phase reactions with corresponding rate laws are
