CDP4-P_D

The folloeing elementary reaction is carried out isothermally at constant volume.

The starting charge to the reactor is ( C_A0 + C_B0) with C_B0 having the value of the equilibrium concentration (C_B0)_eq for the initial charge (C_A0 + C_B0) after infinite time (C_A0 = 0). Thus, B starts and ends at the same concentration.

1. What is the value of C_B0 in terms of reaction rate constants and C_A0 in order for the concentration of B to remain the same at the beginning and end of the reaction.
   
   
2. What is the condition relating the rate constants if C_B were to remain a constant throughout the course of the reaction?
