1. The reversible reaction A = B has the following rate equation:
k2
dA
k2B – kj A
(1)
dt
where A = A(t) and B
B(t) are, respectively, the molar concentrations of A and B.
a) Use (1) and mass conservation to find a differential equation for A(t).
b) Use direct integration of the equation found in (a) to find A(t) in the case that
equal amounts, xo, of A and B are mixed in a closed container.
c) Verify your solution for A(t) using the expression for the general solution of a
FOLDE.
d) What are the equilibrium concentrations A(t → x) and B(t → 0)?
