Multiple Reactions- Liquid Phase


(1) NOTE: The specific reaction rate k1A is
defined with respect to species A.
(2) NOTE: The specific reaction rate k2C is
defined with respect to species C.

We will specify V, CAo, Cbo along with the specific reaction rates kij.

This formulation leaves us with four equations and four unknowns (CA, CB, CC, and CD).

Use Polymath's nonlinear equation solver. Put the combined mole balance and rate laws in the following form
