Rate-Constant?

How to derive rate-constant for a second order reaction when the concentration of reactants are are - (1)equal (2) unequal

Can you please derive it for me? It%26#039;s an assignment %26amp; I just have 12 hours left.Please! Thanks!

Rate-Constant?

Let

aA %26gt;%26gt; Products a second order reaction.

The law is :

- 1/a d[A] / dt = k[A]^2

- d[A] / [A]^2 = kdt

1 / [A] - 1 / [A]鎺?= k(t-t鎺?

Let

aA + bB %26gt;%26gt; products a secon order reaction

if a=b and [A] = [ B]

v = - d[A] / dt = k [A]^2

k = 1/t ( 1 / [A] - 1 / [A鎺砞

if a = b = 1 and A is not equal B

v = - d [A] / dt = k [A] [B]

The derivation contains many symbols which cannot be drawn here, better consult a text book.
