please provide complete solution as soon as possible

1) An aromatic compound has three major isomers X,Y and Z. When X was passed over heterogenous catalyst, the following elementary reaction were observed: Xk1YandXk3k2Z For a total flow rate of 4mol/min, the feed to the reactor is equimolar in both X and Z. reaction condition are given below: CpX=CpY=CpZ=150J/(mol.K)CT0=2mol/dm3Hrx10=1200J/molHrx30=2000J/molKC=15exp[4(T4502)]k1=0.01exp[5(1T500)]kgcat.mindm3k2=1exp[3(1T350)]kgcat.mindm3T0=300KandTa=450KbUa=15kgcat.min.KJ Plot the temperature and molar flow rates of each species as a function of catalyst weight upto 90kg. a) Find the lowest concentration of X achieved in the reactor. b) Find the maximum concentration of Z achieved in the reactor. c) Find the maximum concentration of X in the reactor. d) Repeat part (a) to (c) for a pure feed of X
