Question: The reaction A + B products is first order in A, first order in B, and second order overall. Consider that the starting concentrations

The reaction A + B → products is first order in A, first order in B, and second order overall. Consider that the starting concentrations of the reactants are [A]0 and [B]0, and that x represents the decrease in these concentrations at the time t. That is, [A]t = [A]0 - x and [B]t = [B]0 - x. Show that the integrated rate law for this reaction can be expressed as shown below.

[A]oX [B]t [B]oX [A]t In- ([B]o  [A]o) X kt

[A]oX [B]t [B]o X [A]t In- ([B]o [A]o) X kt
