(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.
