RK Exercise 2
Reactant A has an initial concentration A(0)
= 80 M, where M = E-5 moles/liter. Let A->B be a unimolecular reaction
with concentration function A(t) for reactant A, concentration function
B(t) for product B, and with rate constant k = .22.
(a) Compute velocity and acceleration functions
for the given concentration functions below.
(b) How long after the reaction begins does it
take the concentration of product B to reach 54 M?
(c) What is the gain rate of product B when its
concentration is 54 M? Also, what is the loss rate of reactant A at this
same time?
(d) When is the concentration of product B equal
to 25 times the concentration of reactant A?
(e) Label the concentration vs time plot below with the information found in (b), (c), and (d).
