A certain reaction has the following general form. aA → bB At a particular temperature and [A]0 = 2.80 ✕ 10−3 M, concentration versus time data were collected for this reaction, and a plot of 1/[A] versus time resulted in a straight line with a slope value of +3.40 ✕ 10−2 L mol−1 s−1. (a) Determine the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant for this reaction. (Rate expressions take the general form: rate = k . [A]a . [B]b.) rate law:

Rate law:

Integrated rate law:

Rate constant:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the slope is obtained by plotting 1/[A] and it has the units L/(mol*s) or 1/(M*s), we can infer the reaction is second-order, therefore, its rate law is:

The integrated rate law:

That is obtained from the integration of:

And of course, since the slope equals the rate constant, its value is:

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
