Please answer completely and legibly.
For the kinetics scheme A BC, each step being first-order, for reaction occurring in a constant-
volume batch reactor (only A present initially),
(a) At what time, t, in terms of k1 and k2, are CA and CB equal (other than t), and what is the
condition for this to happen?
(b) What is the value oft, when k1=k2?
(c) Show that CB has an inflection point at 2tmax.
(d) Calculate k1tmax and CBmaxCAo for each of the cases (i)K=k2k1=10,(ii)K=1, and (iii)K=0.1.
(e) From the results in (d), describe how tmax and CBmaxCA0 change with decreasing K.
