An elementary reaction A to B is reversible and has an equilibrium constant of 10, and a forward rate constant of 1.0 d-1.
a) Plot the concentrations of A and B as a function of time in a batch reactor that initially contains 10-3 M each of A and B. Show the data from the initial condition until the concentrations are both changing at an instantaneous rate of less than 10-5 M per day.
b) Repeat part (a) if the initial concentrations are 2 x 10-3 M of A and no B.
c) What are the molar concentrations of A and B at equilibrium in part (b)?
