A and B react stoichiometrically to form P. If 0.01 M A and 10 MB are mixed, it is found that the log of the concentra tion of A vs. time is a straight line.

a. What is the order of the reaction with respect to A?


b. Write a one-line mechanism that is consistent with the kinetics and stoichiometry.


c. According to your mechanism, what is the order of the reaction with respect to B?


d. The half-life for the disappearance of A is 100 s. What would be the predicted half-life if the concentration of B is changed from 10 M to 20 M?


e. From the half-life given in part (d), calculate the rate coefficient for the reaction of A with B. Specify the units of the rate coefficient.
