Chapter 20, Problem 88IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The integrated rate law and an expression for half-life for $\text{A}\to \text{products}$ is to be determined if the reaction is third order.

Concept introduction:

• A reaction is said to be third order if:

$\text{Rate}\propto {[reactant]}^3$

• Half-life is the time required by any substance to reduce to half of its initial concentration.
• Rate law describes the change in concentration of reactant(s) with change in time.
