A reversible chemical reaction 2A + BC can be characterized by the equilibrium relationship K = Cc cach where the nomenclature c; represents the concentration of constituent i. Suppose that we define a variable x as representing the number of moles of C that are produced. Conservation of mass can be used to reformulate the equilibrium relationship as K = (Cc,0 + x) (Ca.02x)² (Ch.0-x) where, the subscript 0 designates the initial concentration of each constituent. If K = 0.016, Ca,o= 42, Cb,o= 28, and Cc,o = 4, determine the value of x. (a) Obtain the solution graphically, using Excel. (b) Solve for the root using fzero command, with an initial guesses of x, chosen based on your graph.
