I really need the answer to question 2, but I believe it depends on the answer to question 1.

Question about process synthesis and optimization.

1) Which configuration exhibits the highest gross margin to produce 2 moles of product P given that neither spills nor stock of component G are accepted and that a maximum of 5 moles of each reactant can be purchased? Find the values at the vertices.

2) Perform the Material balance for the BIGGEST GROSS MARGIN of the previous question (X1=0.2, X2=5, X3=2) considering that the conversions are 90%, 80% and 70% respectively; reagent B is purchased in a 30% F solution; reagent D cannot enter R1 and R3. No waste or stock of component G is accepted. Consider recycling unconsumed quantities of reagents. Consider as a basis for calculation 200 mol of Product. The product must be pure.

M= mixer; S= separation; R= reaction.
