So for my Kinetics class I'm trying to derive a function in Mathcad to get the result I need to answer a question in the book. First I need to verify that Mathcad can do this. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks!
Irreversible 1st order reaction in PFTR (Parallel Reaction)
A→B r1=k1*Ca
A→C r2=k2*Ca
dCa/dt=-k1*Ca-k2*Ca
dCb/dt=k1*Ca
dCc/dt=k2*Ca
Boundary Condition: Ca=Ca0
Ca(t)=Ca0*exp(-(k1+k2)*t)
Please provide a worksheet, it might encourage users to help.

Also, specify which version of Mathcad are you using?
