Re: 15.19
Compare rate 1&3 to find the order of concentration B because A conc and C conc remain constant between these two experiments.
Rate 3/rate 1=50.8/8.7=5.85
B conc3/B conc1=3.02/1.25=2.416
2.416^x=5.85
X=2
Therefore, the concentration B is a second order reaction.

Re: Book Problem 15.21
First start with the equation: ln(A/A(initial)=-kt
Then plug in k(7.6x10^-3/min) and t (5 hours but use 300 min)
Second you will now have: ln(A/A(initial)=-2.28
Cancel out on by using e: (A/A(initial)=e^-2.28
A(initial)= 20mg
Solve for A which is 2.0 mg
Then plug in k(7.6x10^-3/min) and t (5 hours but use 300 min)

Re: 15.21 SOS!!!!!
It is a property of natural logs. When you subtract two natural logs, you can use division.
For example, lnA-lnB= ln(A/B)
So we are given lnA=-kt+lnA(initial)
Then you can change it depending on what you are solving for:
So lnA-lnA(initial)=-kt which is converted to ln(A/A(initial))=-kt
For example, lnA-lnB= ln(A/B)
So we are given lnA=-kt+lnA(initial)
Then you can change it depending on what you are solving for:
So lnA-lnA(initial)=-kt which is converted to ln(A/A(initial))=-kt

Using the Nernst equation with Ln and log should be interchangeable, but I had this same issue with this problem. I also got 3.27x10^6 rather than just 10^6.
There is an added constant for log. For ln: E = E-RT/nF(lnQ) but for log: E = E-2.303RT
