An aqueous ester hydrolysis reaction A -> B + C has k = 0.02 min-1 and an equilibrium constant of 10 with all concentrations in moles/liter.
a) Starting with CA0 = 1 mole/liter, and CB0 = CC0 = 0, what is the equilibrium composition?
b) What is the reverse rate constant in the above reaction?
c) Find CA(t), CB(t), and CC(t) in a batch reactor for these initial conditions.
