To solve the problem, we need to compare the rates of two reactions, A and B, after one half-life has passed, given that A follows first-order kinetics and B follows second-order kinetics, and both have the same half-lives. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Half-Life of Each Reaction:** - For a first-order reaction, the half-life (\(t_{1/2}\)) is given by: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k_A} ...

Reaction A to Products follows first order kinetics while reaction Bto products follows second order kinetics. If both have same half-lives, then starting with the same initial concentrtion of A and B, compare their rates at the start of the reaction

Two reactants A and B separately shows two chemical reactions.Both reactions are made with same initial concentration of each reactant. Reactant A follows first order kinetics whereas reactant B follows second order kinetics. If both have same half lives, find the ratio of the ratios of their rates at the start of reaction and after the lapse of one half life.

Reaction A follows first order kinetics and reaction B follows second order kinetics. If their half lives are equal, compare their rates (i) at the start of the reaction and (ii) after lapse of one half life.

How is half-life period of a initial concentration for a second order reaction ?

Half-life period of a first order reaction is 10 min. Starting with initial concentration 12 M, the rate after 20 min is

For a first order reaction, if ‘a’ is the initial concentration of reactant, then the half life time is
