What is the reaction time associated with the maximum concentration of B? What are the overall selectivity and yield of B when the concentration of B is highest?

The elementary liquid-phase series reaction
A
В
is carried out in a 500-dm³ batch reactor. The initial concentration of A is 1.6 mol/dm³. The desired prod-
uct is B, and separation of the undesired product C is very difficult and costly. Because the reaction is
carried out at a relatively high temperature, the reaction is easily quenched.
(a) Plot and analyze the concentrations of A, B, and C as a function of time. Assume that each reaction
is irreversible, with k = 0.4 h-l and k = 0.01 h-!.
