Consider the following reaction,the rate expression of which is given below:
$A + B \rightarrow C$
$\text{rate} = k[A]^{1/2}[B]^{1/2}$
The reaction is initiated by taking $1 \ M$ concentration of $A$ and $B$ each. If the rate constant $(k)$ is $4.6 \times 10^{-2} \ s^{-1}$,then the time taken for $A$ to become $0.1 \ M$ is . . . . . . . . . . $sec$. (nearest integer)
