FAQs on Reactant Concentration at given Time t

What is the formula to find Reactant Concentration at given Time t?
The formula of Reactant Concentration at given Time t is expressed as Concentration of A at Time t = Initial Concentration of Reactant A*(Forward Reaction Rate Constant/(Forward Reaction Rate Constant+Backward Reaction Rate Constant))*((Backward Reaction Rate Constant/Forward Reaction Rate Constant)+exp(-(Forward Reaction Rate Constant+Backward Reaction Rate Constant)*Time)). Here is an example- 0.072421 = 100000*(9.74E-05/(9.74E-05+4.18E-05))*((4.18E-05/9.74E-05)+exp(-(9.74E-05+4.18E-05)*3600)).
How to calculate Reactant Concentration at given Time t?
With Initial Concentration of Reactant A (A0), Forward Reaction Rate Constant (kf), Backward Reaction Rate Constant (kb) & Time (t) we can find Reactant Concentration at given Time t using the formula - Concentration of A at Time t = Initial Concentration of Reactant A*(Forward Reaction Rate Constant/(Forward Reaction Rate Constant+Backward Reaction Rate Constant))*((Backward Reaction Rate Constant/Forward Reaction Rate Constant)+exp(-(Forward Reaction Rate Constant+Backward Reaction Rate Constant)*Time)). This formula also uses Exponential Growth (exp) function(s).
Can the Reactant Concentration at given Time t be negative?
