Homework Statement
Write down the material balance for the components A, B, C, D id this reaction takes place in a batch reactor:
A+B[tex]\Updownarrow[/tex]C and C+B[tex]\Updownarrow[/tex]D
The difunctional starting material (A) combines with the primary reactant (B) to form a monofunctional intermediate (C), which subsequently combines with B to produce the final desired product (D).
Homework Equations
(dC_j/dt)=R_j
r_1=k_1*C_A*C_B-k_-1*C_C
r_2=k_2*C_B*C_C-k_-2*C_D
The Attempt at a Solution
Okay i know that (dC_A/dt)=-r_1, (dC_B/dt)=-r_1-r_2, (dC_C/dt)=r_1-r_2, and (dC_D/dt)=r_2
I've also assumed that C_A(0)=C_A0, C_B(0)=C_B0, C_C(0)=0 and C_D(0)=0
I don't know how to go about solving the rest. please help.
