please provide complete solution with full explanation

Q2. A liquid phase chemical reaction AR is carried out in a MFR under SS condition. A side product S is also formed in the parallel reaction AS. The following data are measured under different conditions: The same reaction as above is now performed in a MFR followed by PFR. The volumetric flowrate of feed is 1m3/min. The concentration of A in the feed is 6moles/m3. The required concentration of A at the exit of the PFR is 0.5moles/m3. (a) Determine the minimum total reactor-volume for this configuration (MFR-PFR). (b) Determine the concentration of S at the exit of the PFR in the configuration of part (a). (c) If you are allowed to select reactors of different volumes, determine the total volume of this configuration (MFR followed by PFR) to maximize the concentration of S at the exit of PFR [15]
