Claude Fable 5.1 reasoning

At equilibrium, K = kf/kb = 1/4 = [P]eq/[R]eq. With [R]+[P]=[R]0, [R]eq/[R]0 = 0.8 and [P]eq/[R]0 = 0.2. This matches option (C).

C

Claude Sonnet 5 reasoning

Setting kf[R]=kb[P] at equilibrium gives [P]/[R]=1/4, so [R] settles at 0.8 and [P] at 0.2 of the initial concentration — matching option C.
