Velocity of Reactions

Consider a reaction of the type A 1→ B + C which occurs according to dnA =−k nA (decay of A). Compute the mole density of A as a function of time, when the initial mole density of A is n0 , and neither B nor C are present initially. Assume constant volume.

Velocity of Reactions

Consider a reaction of the type B + C 0:: 2A which occurs according to

1. Derive the law of mass action for this reaction, and compute the equilibrium mole densities.

2. Compute the mole density of A as a function of time, and also compute the mole densities of B and C as functions of time.

3. Plot νA and νB as functions of time.
