The following reversible gas-phase reaction is carried out at on a flat catalyst plate
A(g)--> B(g)
The rate of surface reaction is
r_(A)=k_(1)(C_(As)-KC_(BS))[(molA)/(m^(2)s)]
where C_(As) and C_(Bs) are the gas-phase concentrations of A and B at the surface of the catalyst. For the reaction, A diffuses to the catalyst surface through a stagnant gas film of thickness \delta . Outside the film gas mixture contains pure A at pressure P_(t) and temperature T. The diffusivity of A in B is D_(AB).
a) Derive an expression for the mol fraction of A at the catalyst surface
