Question: What conditions would you use to maximize the selectivity for the following parallel reactions? (D is the desired product) (10 points) A + B D

What conditions would you use to maximize the selectivity for the following parallel reactions? (D is the desired product) (10 points)

A + B D rD=800e-(2000/T)CACB2

A + B U rU=10e-(300/T)CACB

i. What value for CA would maximize the selectivity?

a. High CA b. Medium CA c. Low CA d. CA doesnt impact selectivity e. Cant be determined with the given information

ii. What value for CB would maximize the selectivity?

a. High CB b. Medium CB c. Low CB d. CB doesnt impact selectivity e. Cant be determined with the given information

iii. What temperature would maximize the selectivity?

a. High T b. Medium T c. Low T d. T doesnt impact selectivity e. Cant be determined with the given information
