This review focuses on the kinetics of the general reaction 3A + B → 2C, particularly analyzing the experimental rate law expressed as rate = k[A]²[B]. For species B, the relationship can be described by the equation ln[B]t = -kt + ln[B]₀, indicating a linear plot of ln[B] vs. time. The half-life can also be derived. For species A, the plot of 1/[A] vs. time demonstrates linearity, highlighting distinct kinetic behaviors within the reaction framework. This exploration provides insights into the relationship between concentration and reaction rates.

Consider the general RXN: 3A + B 2C Relating rates: or: suppose the experimental rate law was found to be: rate = k[A]2[B]
rate = k[A]2[B] Then for B: ln[B]t = -kt + ln[B]0 A plot of ln[B] vs time would be linear and for half life: And for A: a plot of 1/[A] vs time would be linear
