Question

For the non-equilibrium process, A + B Products, the rate is first order w.r.t A and second order w.r.t. B. If 1.0 mole each of A and B are introduced into a 1 litre vessel and the initial rate were 1.0 × 10^–2 mol/litre-sec, calculate the rate when half of the reactants have been used.

Answer 1

or New rate = 1.2 × 10^–3 mol/L-sec
