Chapter 20, Problem 20.52E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the different forms of straight-line graphs for the equations 20.41 and 20.42 can be determined or not is to be stated. The reason for the same 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 $t=0$.
