Question: In a batch reactor, the dimer ( Substance A ) decomposes into two monomers ( Substance B ) in an equilibrium reaction. The rate constant

In a batch reactor, the dimer (Substance A) decomposes into two monomers (Substance B) in an equilibrium reaction. The rate constant (in s^-1) of the forward reaction (first order) from Substance A to the monomers B is twice as high as the rate constant (in L mol^-1 s^-1) for the reverse reaction (second order) of the molecules B to the dimer (molecule A). At the beginning of the reaction, the concentration of Substance A is 3 mol/L, and monomers are not present at the start of the reaction. Calculate the reaction extent when a reaction volume of 5600 mL is present.
