Explanation:
The given reaction equation is as follows.

So, rate constants for different reactants and products written as follows.

As per the reaction equation, the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants and products are as follows.
A = -2
B = -1
C = 1
Therefore,


Hence,
= 
= 12.5 
Thus, we can conclude that
and
are 12.5
.
Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.
Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.
Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.
