Hi there,

Could you please help me with this question?

We're given the the rate expression: r_A = -k1*C_A*C_B + k2*C_P. The constants k1 and k2 are given. It says that 5L of feed of initial concentrations, C_A0, C_B0 and C_P0 are fed into a beaker.

The question is to find the final concentrations of C_A, C_B and C_P after a long time.

My attempt:

All I know is that the rate expression can be written as:

r_A = -k1*(C_A0-x)*(C_B0-x) + k2*(C_P0+x) = V*(dC_A/dt)          (where x is the amount reacted)

What do I do now?

Thanks :)
