Question
(a) For a reaction A + B --> P, the rate law is given by,
r = k [A]1/2 [B]2.
What is the order of this reaction?
(b) A first order reaction is found to have a rate constant k = 5·5 x 10-14 s-1. Find the half-life of the reaction.
Solution
(a)
For A + B--> P
r = k [A]1/2 [B]2
The order of the reaction = 
(b) For first order reaction
k = 5.5 x 10-14 s-1
Half-life period ( 
) for the first order reaction
