Answer to Question #255806 in Organic Chemistry for atenz

Question

A reversible chemical reaction combines A and B to produce C and D. At equilibrium, A, B and C are present in concentrations 1 M, 0.05 M, 500 mM respectively.

If the rate constants are k1=2M^{-2}s^{-1} and k2 = 1 M^{-1} s^{-1}, what is the concentration of D in M at equilibrium? Give the result to three significant figures.

Answer 1

The concentration of the reactants is equal to the concentration of the products. The rate of a forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
