Question: For the following reactive systems, develop a selectivity expression for each set of reactions, identify the optimal reactor type, and if a high or low

For the following reactive systems, develop a selectivity expression for each set of reactions, identify the
optimal reactor type, and if a high or low temperature should be utilized to maximize selectivity of
formation of D over U as well as maximize the overall production rate of D. Justify your choice of
reactor in terms of high or low relative concentration of reactants and/or products as well as single pass
and overall conversion.
