(a)
Interpretation:
Concentration of reactant (A) and the rate of the reaction are given. If the reaction follows first order in A then the rate constant has to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Rate equation for the general reaction
The rate of the reaction is proportinal to the concentration of A to the power of x, is
The rate of the reaction is proportional to the concentration of B to the power of y is
Then the rate equation becomes,
Order of this reaction is the sum of the powers to which all reactant concentrations appearing in the rate law are raised.
Rate law: It is an equation that related to the rate of reaction to the concentrations or pressures of substrates (reactants). It is also said to be as rate equation.

- A mixture of three compounds Phen-A, Acet-B and Rin-C was analyzed using TLC with 1:9 ethanol: hexane as the mobile phase. The TLC plate showed three spots of R, 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3. Which of the three compounds (Phen-A; Acet-B or Rin-C) would have the highest (Blank 1), middle (Blank 2) and lowest (Blank 3) spot respectively? 0 CH: 0 CH, 0 H.C OH H.CN OH Acet-B Rin-C phen-A A A <arrow_forwardHow many chiral carbons are in the molecule?
