M5.2. Model (Chapter 2)

The molar rate of formation (per unit volume) of each component is

Assuming a constant volume reactor, it is easy to derive the following equations (do this):

Notice that the first two equations do not depend on the concentration of components C or D. Since we are only concerned about the concentration of component B, we only need to solve the first two equations:
