Chapter 11, Problem 56E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: It is given that value of concentration of theophylline is decreasing in $\text{24}\text{hours}$. The value of concentration of theophylline is further reduced in another $\text{12}\text{hours}$. The rate constant of this drug is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The change observed in the concentration of a reactant or a product per unit time is known as the rate of the particular reaction. The differential rate law provides the rate of a reaction at specific reaction concentrations.

To determine: The rate constant of metabolism of theophylline
