A reaction involves fictional reagents A & B is begun with the inital concentration of 0.05M A and 0.01M B. The reaction reaches completion in 16 seconds. What is the initial rate of the reaction in respect to A? and what is the order in respect to B

To determine the initial rate of the reaction in respect to A and the order in respect to B, you need to gather some information and perform the necessary calculations.

First, determine the change in concentration of A over time. The initial concentration of A is 0.05M, and the reaction reaches completion in 16 seconds. Let's assume that the concentration of A decreases linearly with time. Therefore, the change in concentration of A over time can be calculated as:

Change in concentration of A = (Final concentration of A - Initial concentration of A) / Time

Since the reaction reaches completion, the final concentration of A would be zero. Thus, the change in concentration of A is equal to the initial concentration of A:

Change in concentration of A = 0.05M

Next, calculate the initial rate of the reaction in respect to A. The initial rate is defined as the change in concentration per unit time at the beginning of the reaction. In other words:

Initial rate of the reaction in respect to A = Change in concentration of A / Time

Given that the change in concentration of A is 0.05M and the time is 16 seconds, we can calculate the initial rate:

Initial rate of the reaction in respect to A = 0.05M / 16 s

Finally, determine the order in respect to B. To find the order, you need to compare the initial rate of the reaction at different initial concentrations of B. Experimentally, you would perform the reaction multiple times, each with a different initial concentration of B, and measure the initial rates. By observing how the rate changes as the concentration of B changes, you can determine the order of the reaction with respect to B (whether it is zero order, first order, or second order).

However, in the given information, we don't have data about how the initial rate changes with different concentrations of B. Therefore, based solely on the provided information, we cannot determine the order in respect to B.
