Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the product of the instantaneous amounts of A and B not converted to chemical C. Initially there are 23 grams of A and 47 grams of B, and for each gram of B, 1.3 grams of A is used. It has been observed that 17.5 grams of C is formed in 15 minutes. How much is formed in 40 minutes?...
