Question: QUESTION 2 Answer ALL parts. Reactant A decomposes by 3 simultaneous reactions to form 3 products, one that is desired ( B ) and two

QUESTION 2
Answer ALL parts.
Reactant A decomposes by 3 simultaneous reactions to form 3 products, one that is desired (B) and two that are undesired (x and Y). These gas phase reactions, along with the appropriate rate laws, are called Trambouze reactions:
1: Axi(zero order),-r1A=k1,k1=0.0001molLs
2: order),-r2A=k2*CA,k2=0.0015s-1
3: order),-r3A=k3*CA2,k3=0.008L(mol.s)
a) Write the net rate of reaction for each component.

b) Write the expression for overall selectivity.
[10 marks]
c) Utilising material balances to define parameters in the overall selectivity expression, how would you achieve maximum selectivity in a CSTR? Start by writing component material balances and assume the initial concentration of all products are zero.

d) What would be the optimum vessel volume if the reaction was to be carried out in a CSTR? The entry stream has a concentration of A of 0.4M and a volumetric flow rate of 10Ls.

I wasnt satisfied with the previous solution I got, wrong expression used for overall selectivity, please do on paper and help!
