7.
The following liquid-phase, elementary reaction in series is carried out in a batch reactor:
AB 2C
The temperature remains constant during the entire process. The rate constant k, = 10 min-1
and k2 = 4 min-'. Only A is present in the beginning of the reaction: CAO = 20 mol/dm3, CB0 = Cco
=0.
а. (-
