Question

Two neutral species, A and B, with diameters 655 pm and 1820 pm, respectively, undergo the diffusion-controlled reaction A + B → P in a solvent of viscosity 2.93×10-3 kg m-1 s -1 at 40 ℃. Use eqn 15B.3 to calculate the initial rate d[P]/dt, given that the initial concentrations of A and B are 0.170 mol dm-3 and 0.350 mol dm-3 , respectively. Then repeat the calculation by using eqn 15B.4. Comment on the validity of the approximation that leads to eqn 15B.4.
