State a condition under

Question: State a condition under which a bimolecular reaction is a kinetically first-order reaction. Solution: A condition under which the order of a chemical reaction can be altered is by taking the solvent or the reactant in the excess amount due to which its concentration does not change much. Consider a bimolecular reaction A + B Product Rate = k[A][B] When concentration B is large rate becomes k[A] Where k=k[B] The order of the reaction will be equal to one....
