(choose chapter or problem)

In an elementary chemical reaction, single molecules of two reactants A and B form a molecule of the product C: . The law of mass action states that the rate of reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of A and B: (See Example 4 in Section 3.3.) Thus, if the initial concentrations are A moles a L and B moles b L and we write d then we have(a) Assuming that , find as a function of . Use the factthat the initial concentration of C is 0.(b) Find assuming that . How does this expressionfor simplify if it is known that after20 seconds?
