Chapter 18, Problem 91IE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate constant of the degradation reaction of ${\text{CF}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{F}$ by $\text{OH}$

Radical; tropospheric concentrations of $\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CF}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{F}$ is given. The rate of the reaction at ${\text{4 }}^{\text{ο}}\text{C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: In the rate law equation, the rate depends only upon the concentration of reactants. First order rate law is dependent only upon the concentration of one reactant.

To determine: The rate of the given reaction at ${\text{4 }}^{\text{ο}}\text{C}$ .
