Assignment 1 CY101 (Chemistry For Engineers)

[1] The reaction is first order with respect to A and B based on the rate law equation. The overall order is 2 and the rate law is rate = k[A][B]. [2] For a first order reaction, 60% of the initial amount will remain after 1 hour. [3] The activation energy is calculated from the Arrhenius equation using the rate constants and temperatures provided. The pre-exponential factor is also determined.
