Question: Construct a graph and conversion at equilibrium in a reactor where the occurrence, ( A S ) of direct and inverse first order, as a

Construct a graph and conversion at equilibrium in a reactor where the occurrence, (AS) of direct and inverse first order, as a function of temperature T, is known: H (298 K)=-40,000 cal/mol; H.(298 K)=-60,000 cal/mol; CM 50 cal/mol.K; CPS 50 cal/mol.K and equilibrium constant K.100,000 to 298 K.
-Is this occurrence endo or exothermic? Why?
-Demonstrate that the operating line of the adiabatic tubular reactor (x versus T) is a straight line, if the thermodynamic properties are assumed constant.
-Calculate the maximum conversion that could be obtained if the tubular reactor was fed at 300 K and operated adiabatically.
-Based on the deduced solution, indicate how it would be possible to change the orientation of this line of operation
