Consider two reaction vessels, one containing A and the other containing B. At t = 0, [A]o = o. A and B decompose by first order kinetics with rate constants of
kA = 4.50 × 10-4 s-1 and kB = 3.70 × 10-3 s-1, respectively. Calculate the time that must pass to reach the condition such that [A] = (4.19).
My professor said that I need to combine two equations to get to the solns lnA = and
lnB= then subtract to get ln[A/B]=
but I still can't figure it out...if someone could provide me with the steps and solution, then that would be greatly appreciated.
