Marina Sexton · Answer 1

a) First order in A and zero order in B

ln [A] = (ln 0.1) (2) + ln Ao = ln 0.01 + ln Ao = ln 0.01 Ao = 1.0% of A will remain

b) First order in A and first order in B

1/[A] - 1/[A]0 = kt where t+=1 and k=9

[A]/[A]=1/19=0.053=5.3%

c) Zero order in both A and B

[A]0-[A] = kt

Then at 2 hours [A]=0 All of it has reacted.
