We wish to produce AB₂X via the following chemical reaction: AB4+ X2 → AB₂X + XB₂ (reaction 1) Unfortunately, the following competing reaction occurs simultaneously: AB4 + 2X₂ → AX₂ + 2XB₂ (reaction 2) The conversion of AB4 is 80%. The yield of AB₂X is 0.77. The feed stream to the reactor is an equimolar mixture of AB4 and X₂. Determine the molar composition of the output stream. Express your answer in mole fractions.
