Chapter 7, Problem 7B.1AST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The remaining concentration of ${\text{N}}_2\text{O}$ after $100\text{ms}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

According to the integrated rate law for the first order reaction, the concentration of reactant is the exponential function of time.  The two equations that represent the integrated rate law for the first order kinetics is shown below.

    $\begin{array}{c}\ln \frac{{\left[\text{A}\right]}_{\text{t}}}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}_0}=-k_{\text{r}}t\\ {\left[\text{A}\right]}_{\text{t}}={\left[\text{A}\right]}_0{\text{e}}^{-k_{\text{r}}t}\end{array}$
