Chapter 14, Problem 14.123AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate of the reverse reaction is much slower than the rate of the forward reaction. The possibility for the method used to determine rate law from initial concentration and initial rates also work at some other time $t$ is to be stated. The concentration used in the case where the rate is used for time being equal to zero.

Concept introduction: The rate law remains same for the rate of backward reaction being slower than the rate of forward reaction.

To determine: The possibility for the method used to determine rate law from initial concentration and initial rates also work at some other time $t$.
