Consider the two first order reactions X Y and Y X for which the rate constants k₁ and k₂ are 4.0 10^3 ~s ⁻¹ and 2.0 10^3 ~s ⁻¹ respectively. One mole of X and three moles of Y are allowed to react and the concentrations of X and Y are measured as a function of time and plotted. The correct figure showing the variation of the concentrations [ X ] and [ Y ] with time and the correct equilibrium concentrations [ X ]_ e
Options
