First-order reaction kinetics
90% conversion at t = 20s
Prompt: build a web page using vanilla javascrit that is dynamic
simulation of a batch chemical reactor in which reactant A gets
converted to reactant B at a rate that is proportional to the
concentration of A in the reactor, display a visual that changes
color with the concentration of A (color green) and concentration
of B (color blue) and plots the concentration of A (starting at 10)
and B (starting at zero) vs. time elapsed from user pressing a start
button over time of 20 seconds at a rate where the conversion of A
to B at 20 seconds is 90%
Revisions: 1) this is good except that no lines for green
A nor blue B appear on the plot;
2) there was no change in the simulation artifact - no lines on plot appear for
A nor B; 3) still no lines, in the log at the bottom, I am getting messages like
this: Time: 0.10s, A: 9.88, B: 0.12, Updating chart with 1 points, No data points
to plot >> this time it worked to produce above simulation.
Comment: I was surprised that Claude Sonnet 4 required 3 revisions to get this
done!
