Chapter 14, Problem 14.81SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thegraphs needs to be interpreted to determine the order of reaction and the value of rate constant for the consumption of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.

${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{(g)}}\stackrel{}{\to }{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{}_{\text{(g)}}+\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}{}_{\text{(g)}}$

Concept introduction:

The order of any chemical reaction is an experimental value that can be determined with the help of exponents of active masses of reactants in the given rate law. On the basis of different orders, chemical reactions can be classified as first order, second order, third order etc.
