Assertion (A): Instantaneous selectivity and overall selectivity are different quantities.
Reason (R): The instantaneous value varies through the reactor while the overall value is an average of it.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the relation between them. The instantaneous value is local and varies with the composition and temperature at each point; the overall value is what actually leaves the reactor, and it is the flow-weighted average of the instantaneous values along the path. Designing for selectivity means arranging the reactor so that the instantaneous value stays high everywhere.
