Direct and reverse second-order elementary reaction

2 Direct and reverse second-order elementary reaction 

It is assumed that the reactants A and B enter the system as pure components and therefore Cro = 0. Furthermore, it is assumed that the reactants enter the system with equal initial concentrations. Therefore, Cao = Cbo =1). 

By using the concentration of the reactants and products as a function of the conversion (Equation 5.25), this equation becomes  

The roots are X e (real root) and X (not real). There is only one real value of equilibrium X e ranging from 0 to X e T Transforming Equation 5.24, we get  

Therefore, the resulting rate as a function of the conversions will be -4)
