Chapter 20, Problem 20.51E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The slope of given straight-line graph is to be predicted. And to find that there is any easy way to determine the individual values from the given plot alone is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The expression for the first order reaction is given by,

${\left[\text{A}\right]}_t={\left[\text{A}\right]}_0\exp \left(-kt\right)$

Where,

• $k$ is the rate constant.

• ${\left[\text{A}\right]}_t$ is the concentration of A at time $t$.

• ${\left[\text{A}\right]}_0$ is the concentration of A at $t=0$.
