Question: Q 3 : Consider the following reaction A D ; k 1 = 1 . 1 D U ; k 2 = 1 . 2

Q 3:
Consider the following reaction
AD;k1=1.1
DU;k2=1.2
Pure A is fed to a 1.0L CSTR where it reacts to form a desired product (D), which can then react further
to produce an undesired product (U); both reactions are elementary and irreversible, and everything is in
the liquid phase. The entering concentration of A is 1moleL at a molar flow rate of 1molmin.
a) Sketch the conversion of A,x, the instantaneous selectivity of D to U,SDU, and the instantaneous
yield of D,YD, as a function of space-time (make sure to label them on the plot).
b)(b) If at =1.0 minutes the instantaneous selectivity, SDU, is (12) and the conversion of A is
(0.5), what are the specific reactions rates k1 and k2?
 Q 3: Consider the following reaction AD;k1=1.1 DU;k2=1.2 Pure A is
