The reversible liquid phase reaction A + 2 B 3 C has forward and reverse kinetics given by forward: - ( r A ) 1

The reversible liquid phase reaction
A+2B3C
has forward and reverse kinetics given by
forward: -(rA)1=k1CA0.8CB2;,k1=0.003(Lmol)1.81(s)
reverse: -(rC)2=k2CC2.6;,k2=0.006(Lmol)1.61(s)
The above reaction is carried out in a batch reactor of constant liquid volume and temperature. Initially (at t=0), the concentrations of the three components are
CA(0)=5molL;,CB(0)=12molL;,CC(0)=3molL
(a) Calculate CA(t),CB(t) and CC(t) by integrating the mole balance equations over time. Plot all three concentrations on the same graph, with time t on the horizontal axis (ranging from 0 to 15s).
To produce reasonably smooth curves, your time intervals within the first 2 seconds should be quite small (e.g.0.1s).
(b) What are the concentrations CA,CB and CC at time t=1.5s?
(c) What is the value of CA at t=15s(which is effectively t)?
(d) Confirm your answer to part (c) using an approach that does not involve integration of ODEs.
