Solution Summary

Have you been feeling confused about kinetics? In this solution, 10 questions covering a variety of topics related to rate laws and integrated rate laws are answered. We cover how to find the rate law, how to use the integrated rate law to find how much material remains after a given time, how to use half-life, and we briefly consider how to figure out the order of the kinetics based on the graph of rate vs. concentration. Don't miss this one!

1) C, the only time the rate law expression will give you stoichiometry is when you have an elementary reaction (A+B--->C). Anything more complex will be too ambiguous to tell.

2) C, since you will square B, when you triple the amount of B, the rate should increase quadratically, so 3^2, or 9, will be the factor you increase the rate by

3) Using the formula: ln2=kt1/2, where t1/2 is the half-life

0.693/k=t1/2
0.693/5.17x10^-5s = t
t=13404 seconds
=223 minutes
D

4)
k=7.16x10^-4
A0=5.29x10^-4
t=1815
Using this formula:
A=A0e^(-kt)

We can plug in numbers and move ...
