Chapter 2.1, Problem 2.5TIY

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Rate after one-half of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{Cl}$ has been consumed should be determined.

Concept introduction: For a second-order reaction the rate expression that holds true is given as follows:

  $\text{rate}=k\left[\text{A}\right]\left[\text{B}\right]$

Where,

• $k$represents rate constant.
• $\left[\text{A}\right]$denotes concentration of reactant A.
• $\left[\text{B}\right]$denotes concentration of reaction B.
