(a)
Interpretation:
The rate law for the reaction should be determined by using concentration versus time.
Concept Introduction:
Rate Law can be expressed as an integrated rate law and a differential rate law.
Differential Rate Law: This describes the change in the concentrations of reactant as a function of time.
Integrated Rate Law: This describes the initial concentrations and the measured concentration of one or more reactants as a function of time.

In experiment 1, concentration of B is 10.0 M and in experiment 2, concentration of B is
20.0 M.
The order of reaction can be determined by the concentration and time data.
The general expression of rate law is expressed as:
Where, m and n are the experimentally determined values.
In both experiments, the concentration of B is more than the concentration of A, thus
In first experiment, 40 seconds are required to undergo one half-life of reactant A. In experiment 2, the half-life decreases by factor 4 as concentration of B doubles.
This observation implies that the reaction is second order with respect to B whereas the reaction is first order with respect to A as the
Thus, rate law for the reaction is expressed as:

The value of rate constant including units should be calculated.

In experiment 1, concentration of B is 10.0 M and in experiment 2, concentration of B is
20.0 M.
In second experiment, the concentration decreases by half every ten seconds. As the reaction is first order with respect A, the below mathematical expression is used for determining value of rate of constant (k’).
Put the value of half-life,
Rate law for the given reaction is expressed as:
Since, concentration of B is more in comparison to A, thus, rate law is written as:

Differential Rate Law: This describes the change in the concentrations of reactant as a function of time.
Integrated Rate Law: This describes the initial concentrations and the measured concentration of one or more reactants as a function of time.
The concentration of a reaction at any time is calculated by the values of concentration and time or by drawing the graph between concentration and time.

In experiment 1, concentration of B is 10.0 M and in experiment 2, concentration of B is
20.0 M.
Since, the reaction is first order with respect to A, thus, the rate constant expression is:
Where, k = rate constant

C = Concentration at given time.
Put the values from experiment 1,
Now, at t = 30 s
Put the values,
Thus, concentration of A for first experiment at t = 30 s is

Interpretation:
Among the given three mechanisms, the best mechanism for the given reaction should be determined. Also, reason should be explained for excluding any mechanism along with if all the three mechanism are equally good, reason should be explained.

The best mechanism is first mechanism.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given reaction is:
For the given
Among the given mechanisms, first and third mechanisms give same rate law to the rate law of the given reaction. Thus, both first and third mechanism is possible. In case of second mechanism, rate law is not same to the rate law of given reaction.
Also, third mechanism is very rare to takes place. Thus, best mechanism is first mechanism.
