For the reversible, elementary reaction: 2A + B C + 2D Since the reaction is elementary, the stoichiometric coefficients are the reaction orders. The rate of reaction for a species A, denoted as r_A, is the net rate of change of its concentration. Step 1: Determine the rate of consumption of A in the forward reaction. The forward reaction is 2A + B K_f C + 2D. For an elementary reaction, the rate law is determined by the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants. The rate of the forward reaction is r_f = K_f C_A^2 C_B^1. Since A is a reactant, it is consumed. The rate
