Chapter 13, Problem 12E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The order and a rate law for the given reaction with respect to $\text{A}$ is to be stated. The value of rate constant $\left(k\right)$ is to be estimated and the rough sketch of a plot of $\left[\text{A}\right]$ versus time is to be plotted.

Concept introduction: The sum of the powers of the concentration of reactants in a chemical reaction gives the order of a reaction. The Rate law states that the rate of a chemical reaction is equal to the product of concentration of reactants only each having a power of its stoichiometric coefficient.

To determine: The order and a rate law for the given reaction with respect to A, the rate constant $\left(k\right)$ and a rough sketch of a plot of $\left[\text{A}\right]$ versus time.
