Chapter 8, Problem 8.15E

Consider the following hypothetical reaction:

$A+B\to C$

Calculate the average rate of the reaction on the basis of the following information:

a. Pure $A,B$, and $C$ are mixed together at concentrations of $A+B=0.400\text{M}$, $C=0.150\text{M}$. After $\text{6}\text{.00}\text{minutes}$, the concentration of $C$ is $0.418\text{M}$.

b. Pure $A$, and $B$ are mixed together at same concentrations of $0.361\text{M}$. After $\text{7}\text{.00}\text{minutes}$, the concentration of $A$ is found to be $0.048\text{M}$.
