In the following first order competing reactions `A overset(k_(1))rarr B, C overset(k_(2)) rarr D`. If only 50% of A have been reacted whereas 94% of C has been reacted in the same time interval then find the ratio of `(k_(2))/(k_(1))`.

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the rate constants \( \frac{k_2}{k_1} \) for the competing first-order reactions: 1. **Identify the reactions and their rate constants**: - Reaction 1: \( A \overset{k_1}{\rightarrow} B \) - Reaction 2: \( C \overset{k_2}{\rightarrow} D \) 2. **Given information**: - 50% of \( A \) has reacted, which means \( x = 0.5 A_0 \). ...
