Consider a reaction that is first order in both directions: $A \underset{K_b}{\stackrel{K_f}{\rightleftharpoons}} B$. Initially only $A$ is present,and its concentration is $A_{0}$. Assume $A_{t}$ and $A_{\text{eq}}$ are the concentrations of $A$ at time $t$ and at equilibrium,respectively. The time $t$ at which $A_{t} = (A_{0} + A_{\text{eq}})/2$ is $....$
