I know selectivity is = No of mole of desired product formed/ No of mole of reactant took part in the reaction (reactant Basis)
Ethylene Oxide example

Considering only first two reactions (No further oxidation of EO)
Assume 153 Kmol/hr of EO forms
So if I have 90% selectivity that means I will have 34 Kmol/hr of CO2. (As every 1 mole ethylene produces 2 mol of CO2)
Another thing selectivity is for overall process so with recycle right?
Much appreciated.
