3. Yield and Selectivity: Consider a more complex version of the process from #2 (see diagram top of next page), in which a second undesired reaction occurs, where the desired product ethylbenzene further reacts with an ethylene molecule to form the undesired product diethylbenzene. Calculate the yield and selectivity, based on the ethylbenzene being the desired product, and the diethylbenzene being the undesired product.
