Answer to Problem 8.1Q
The way of completing the reaction in which a reactant A has been unsuccessful in dating reactant B is not a surefire idea and it will not work to the appropriate extent.
Explanation of Solution
The way of completing the reaction in which a reactant A has been unsuccessful in dating reactant B is actually not a surefire idea because the results of this process are not appropriate as the yield of the product will be sometimes low and sometimes higher.
Thus, the working of this idea is not proper.

Interpretation:
The making and the solution of the original problem based on the concepts of the chapter are to be stated.

The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reaction has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.
The rate law of the chemical reaction states that the rate of reaction is the function of the concentration of the reactants and the products present in that specific reaction. The rate is actually predicted by the slowest step of the reaction.

Concept Introduction:
The instantaneous selectivity of D with respect to U is the ratio of the rate of formation of D to the rate of formation of U.
Selectivity tells us how one product is favored over another when we have multiple reactions.

A question that is based on the concept of the chapter which needs critical thinking is given as follows.
The reactions that are carried out in a batch reactor is given below.
More information:
(i) Predict the plot of conversion and concentrations of A, C, and D as a function of time.

(iii) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of A, C and D.
(iv) Evaluate the exit concentration from a CSTR having space time equals to
The given problem in the series sequence,
The given problem is critical, because multiple reactions occurring in this reactor.
We want to minimize the formation of D and maximize the formation of C because the greater the amount of undesired product formed, the greater the cost of separating the undesired product D from the desired product C.
So, we need to learn new concept called selectivity for multiple reactions.
Selectivity tells us how one product is favored over another when we have multiple reactions. We can quantify the formation of C with respect to D by defining the selectivity and yield of the system.

Answer to Problem 8.1Q
The overall and instantaneous selectivities identical for a CSTR that is
Explanation of Solution
The reactions that are carried out parallel in a batch reactor is given below.
The selectivity in the multiple reactions represents that only one product is favored over another.
The ratio corresponding to the generation of D to the rate of generation of U is known as instantaneous selectivity,
Where,
If selectivity is based upon the molar flow rates which exit from the reactor then it is known as overall selectivity,
Where,
As,
Therefore, the overall and instantaneous selectivities identical for a CSTR that is
The ratio that corresponds to the reaction rate of the given product with the reaction rate of the main reactant is known as instantaneous yield,
The ratio of moles of product formed at the end of the reaction to the number of moles of the main reactant is known as overall yield,
As,
Therefore, the overall and instantaneous yields for a CSTR are equal that is
