Chapter 15, Problem 62E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The problem that arises due to the inertness of polymers is to be explained and other compounds having the same problem are to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are formed by joining small units called monomers.

Polymers are usually non-biodegradable, which means they cannot be changed into a simpler substance when they are dumped into the soil.

The kinetics of a gas phase reaction of the form A → Products results in a rate constant of 0.00781 M/min. For this reaction, the initial concentration of A is 0.501 M. How many minutes will it take for the concentration of A to reach 0.144 M
What is the rate for the second order reaction A → Products when [A] = 0.256 M? (k = 0.761 M⁻¹s⁻¹)
For reaction N2(g) + O2(g) --> 2NO(g) Write the rate of the reaction in terms of change of NO.
