How do you find the integrated rate laws for zeroth, first, and second order reactions?
1 Answer
We integrate the differential rate laws.
Explanation:
Here's how to do it.
Integrated rate law for zero order reaction
The differential rate law is
Rearrange this to give
Integrate both sides of the equation.
Solve for
Integrated rate law for first order reaction
The differential rate law is
Rearrange this to give
Integrate both sides of the equation.
Solve for
Integrated rate law for second-order reaction
The differential rate law is
Rearrange this to give
Integrate both sides of the equation.
The final version of the second-order integrated rate law is:
