Chapter 7, Problem 7B.14E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate constant for the given second order reaction in terms of the rate law for the loss of $\text{A}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The equation that represents the integrated rate law for the second order kinetics is shown below.  The unit for the rate constant for the second order reaction is $\text{L}\cdot {\text{mol}}^{-1}\cdot {\text{s}}^{-1}$.

    $\frac{1}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}_{\text{t}}}=k_{\text{r}}t+\frac{1}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}_0}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate constant for the given second order reaction in terms of the rate law for the loss of $\text{A}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Same as part (a).
