To derive the expression for the time required for 75% completion of a general nth order reaction \( A \to P \) with initial concentration \( a \) and rate constant \( k \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction For a reaction \( A \to P \), if 75% of the reactant \( A \) has reacted, then 25% remains. Therefore, if the initial concentration of \( A \) is \( a \), the concentration of \( A \) at 75% completion will be: \[ [A] = a - 0.75a = 0.25a \] ...
