Chemical Reaction
In a chemical reaction, one unit of compound Y and one unit of compound Z are converted into a single unit of compound X. Let x be the amount of compound X formed.
The rate of formation of X is proportional to
the product of the amounts of unconverted compounds Y and Z. So,
(a) Perform the two integrations and solve for x in terms of t.
(b) Use the result of part (a) to find x as
