Two substances, A and B, are being converted into a single compound C. In the laboratory it has been shown that, for these substances, the following law of conversion holds: the time rate of change of the amount x of compound C is proportional to the product of the amounts of unconverted A and CBO mols of substance B, and none of compound C present, find x(t). Assume that 1 mole of C is formed from the combination of 1 mole of A and one mole of B.

What is the difference between the integrated and differential forms of the rate law?
A bimolecular chemical reaction is one in which two chemicals react to form another substance. Suppose that one molecule of each of the two chemicals reacts to form two molecules of a new substance. If x represents the number of molecules of the new substance at time t, then the rate of change of x is proportional to the square of the numbers of molecules of the original chemicals available to be converted. That is, if each of the chemicals initially contained A molecules, then dx dt = k(A − x)2 where k is a constant. If 40% of the initial amount A is converted after 1 hour, how long will it be before 50% is converted? (Give an exact answer. Do not round.)
Sucrose (C12H22O11)(C12H22O11), which is commonly known as table sugar, reacts in dilute acid solutions to form two simpler sugars, glucose and fructose, both of which have the formula C6H12O6C6H12O6. At 23 ∘C∘C and in 0.5 M HClM HCl, the following data were obtained for the disappearance of sucrose: Time (min)(min) C12H22O11(M)C12H22O11(M) 0 0.316 39 0.274 80 0.238 140 0.190 210 0.146 What is the rate constant?

Nitrogen dioxide is a toxic pollutant that contributes to photochemical smog. One way it forms is through the following sequence: (1) N2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2NO(g) Kc1 5 4.3x1025 (2) 2NO(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2NO2(g) Kc2 5 6.4x109 (a) Show that the overall Qc for this reaction sequence is the same as the product of the Qc expressions for the individual reactions. (b) Given that both reactions occur at the same temperature, find Kc for the overall reaction.
