Repeat this simulation with a conversion rate of 55% AB and 45% BA. How many time iterations (rows) are required before equilibrium is reached (i.e. when the number you type on the left first equals the number you type on the right)?

The simulation below can be used to model kinetics, equilibrium, and Le Chatelier's principle-the three topics covered over the next three labs. It utilizes the very basic generic equation below. AB Use the Equilibrium simulation to explore how the amount of reagent A and Product B change over time for a reversible reaction. We will first look at a reaction with a 50% forward conversion and a 25% reverse conversion. To explore this reaction more, complete the following: - Set the dropdown below AB to 50 (50\% conversion rate), and the dropdown below BA to 25 ( 25% conversion rate). - The first row is the start of the reaction (time 0), when everything exists as A(A=100,B=0). - The second row is at time 1 , when a single conversion has occurred. - There is a 50% conversion of AB, so the amount of A that becomes B is 50% of 100 , or conversion =0.50100=50. Type 50 into the box below AB and hit enter. - There is a 25% conversion of BA, so the amount of B that goes back to A is 25% of 0 , or conversion =0.250=0. Type 0 into the box below BA and hit enter. - Notice that now A=50 and B=50. - The third row is at time 2 , when another conversion has occurred. The conversion rate is still 50%, but now A=50, so conversion =0.5050=25. Type 25 into the box and hit enter. Notice that now A=25 and B=75. 50% conversion of AB, so conversion =0.5050=25. Type 25 into the box and hit enter. - 25% conversion of BA, so conversion =0.2550=12.5=13. Type 13 into the box and hit enter. - Time 3 is the next conversion. AB : conversion =0.5038=19. Type 19 into the box and hit enter. - BA : conversion =0.2562=16. Type 16 into the box and hit enter. - Time 4 AB : conversion =0.5035=18. Type 18 into the box and hit enter. - BA : conversion =0.2565=16. Type 16 into the box and hit enter. - Time 5 AB : conversion =0.5033=17. Type 17 into the box and hit enter. - BA : conversion =0.2567=17. Type 17 into the box and hit enter. - Time 6 - AB : conversion =0.5033=17. Type 17 into the box and hit enter. - BA : conversion =0.2567=17. Type 17 into the box and hit enter. - At Time 5 the reaction reached equilibrium, meaning that the amount of A being converted to B is equal to the amount of B converted to A, so the ratio of products to reactants stays constant
