Chapter 15, Problem 34E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The forms of integrated rate law, differential law should be determined along with the value of rate constant for the following reaction.

  ${\text{2C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}\text{(g)}\to \text{C}\text{H}{}_{\text{12}}\text{(g)}$

Concept Introduction:

Rate Law can be expressed as an integrated rate law and a differential rate law.

Differential Rate Law: This describes the change in the concentrations of reactant as a function of time.

Integrated Rate Law: This describes the initial concentrations and the measured concentration of one or more reactants as a function of time.
