Consider the transformation of a 2-ketohydroxy acid k into


Consider the transformation of a 2-ketohydroxy acid (K) into ascorbic acid (A) and eventually other products such as furfural (F) and polymerized furfural (P). At 35.2 degrees Celsius, the reaction of 2-ketohydroxy acid follows first order kinetics with k1= 4.91*10-4 min-1 and k2=2.53*10-3min-1. If one starts with a solution that is 0.03 molar in both 2-ketohydroxyacid (K) and its ascorbic acid derivative (A), what is the maximum concentration of ascorbic acid that will be obtained? How long does it take to achieve this maximum?
