Chapter 20, Problem 89IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The integrated law for $\text{A+B}\to \text{products}$ should be expressed as: $\text{ln}\frac{{\text{([A]}}_{\text{0}}{\text{×[B]}}_{\text{t}}\text{)}}{{\text{([B]}}_{\text{0}}{\text{×[A]}}_{\text{t}}\text{)}}{\text{=([B]}}_{\text{0}}{\text{-[A]}}_{\text{0}}\text{)×kt}$

Concept introduction:

• A reaction is said to be second order if −

$\text{Rate}\propto {\text{[reactants]}}^{\text{2}}$

• Rate law describes the change in concentration of reactant(s) with change in time.
