A first order reaction has a rate proportional to the concentration of one of the reactants.
In this case the rate of reaction is dependent on A and not dependent on B.
So this is first order reaction.
So Rate = k[A][B]

If a group takes a negative charge by induction, the group possess a -I effect.
If a group takes a positive charge by induction, the group possess a +I effect.
If a group takes a negative charge by resonance, the group possess a -R effect.
If a group takes a positive charge by resonance, the group possess a +R effect.
-NO2 group in benzene ring shows -I and -R effect, which deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution but activates it towards nucleophilic substitution.

In a mixture of ideal gases, partial pressure is the pressure which the gas would have if it would have alone occupied the volume.
The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture.

Molecular weight of methane (CH4) = 16
Molecular weight of oxygen (O2) = 32

Let weight of methane (CH4) = y
Let weight of oxygen (O2) = y

Total number of moles in gas mixture = y/16 + y/32 = 3y/32
Mole fraction of oxygen = (y/32)/(3y/32) = 1/3
So partial pressure exerted by oxygen = 1/3
