Suppose a gas consists of molecules of type A. When the gas is heated a second substance
Question:
Suppose a gas consists of molecules of type A. When the gas is heated a second substance B is formed by molecular collision. Let A(t) and B(t) denote, in turn, the number of molecules of types A and B present at time t ≥ 0. A mathematical model for the rate at which the number of molecules of type A decreases is
dA/dt = -kA2, k > 0.
(a) Determine A(t) if A(0) = A0.
(b) Determine the number of molecules of substance B present at time t if it is assumed that A(t) + B(t) = A0.
(c) By hand, sketch rough graphs of A(t) and B(t) for t ≥ 0.
