Assignment 3

The document contains 4 problems about chemical reaction rates and kinetics. Problem 1 involves a first-order reaction that is 35% complete after 325 seconds. Problem 2 involves determining the order of a reaction from rate data. Problem 3 involves calculating the rate constant and half-life for a second-order reaction. Problem 4 involves deriving a rate law from a reaction mechanism.
