Question:

For the reaction:

2A + B ↔ C

Equilibrium can be expressed as:

K = [C]/[A]2[B] = [C]/[A0 – 2C]2[B0 - C]

If K = 2 M–1, the initial concentration of A (A0) can be varied. The initial concentration of B is fixed by the process, B0 = 100. A costs $1/M and C sells for $10/M. What would be the optimum initial concentration of A to use such that the profits would be maximized?
