Chapter 16, Problem 16.42P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of $\left[\text{AB}\right]$ after $\left(\text{10}\text{.0}\text{s}\right)$ for the decomposition reaction has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Rate law or rate equation: The relationship between the reactant concentrations and reaction rate is expressed by an equation.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{aA + bB}\to x\text{X}\\ \\ {\text{Rate of reaction = k [A]}}^{\text{m}}{\text{[B]}}^{\text{n}}\end{array}$

Second order reaction:

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\text{-Δ[R]}}{\text{Δt}}{\text{ = k[R]}}^{\text{2}}\text{,}\\ \\ \text{The realtion can be transformed into,}\\ \\ \frac{\text{1}}{{\text{[R]}}_{\text{t}}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{1}}{{\text{[R]}}_{\text{0}}}\text{ = kt}\end{array}$
