In a laboratory batch setup, reaction of P over a catalyst was studied at various temperatures.
The reactions occurring are:
P → 2Q
P → R
At the end of one hour of operation, the batch contains xP, xQ, and xR mole fractions of P, Q, and R components, respectively.
The mole fractions of product components (xQ and xR) were found to vary linearly with temperature as given in the figure.
If the yield of Q based on reactant P consumed (YQ) at 25 °C was found to be 0.40, then the value of YQ at 60 °C is ____________ (rounded off to second decimal place).
