Chapter 20, Problem 20.12E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of $\text{A}$ when the rate of the reaction is $1.55\times {10}^{-6}\text{M}/\text{s}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The rate law of the reaction is expressed as,

$\text{Rate}=k{\left[\text{A}\right]}^x{\left[\text{B}\right]}^y$

Where,

• $x$ is the stoichiometric coefficient of reactant $\text{A}$.

• $y$ is the stoichiometric coefficient of reactant $\text{B}$.

The sum of the stoichiometric coefficient of reactant $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ is equal to the overall order of the reaction.
