Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A conclusion is to be drawn about the mechanism of the reaction in Figure 15-10, which does not show a change over an initial period in the absorbance at 244 nm when the concentration of the base is doubled.
Concept introduction:
The kinetics of an elimination reaction can be determined by monitoring the absorbance of the product’s
