Two isomers (A and B) of a given compound dimerize as follows: 2Ak1A22Bk2B2 Both processes are known to be second order in reactant, and k1 is known to be 0.250 L/mol s at 25C. In a particular experiment A and B were placed in separate containers at 25C, where [A]0 = 1.00 102M and [B]0 = 2.50 102 M.

One experimental procedure that can be used to determine the rate law of a reaction is the method of initial rates.
