If, in Example 4, one molecule of the product C is formed from one molecule of the reactant A and one molecule of the reactant B, and the initial concentrations of A and B have a common value [A] = [B] = a moles/L, then [C] = a2kt/(akt + 1) where is a constant.




(a) Find the rate of reaction at time t.
(b) Show that if x = [C], then
(c) What happens to the concentration as t → ∞?
(d) What happens to the rate of reaction as t → ∞?
(e) What do the results of parts (c) and (d) mean in practical terms?
