Chapter 7, Problem 7A.2E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given blanks have to be filled with suitable answer.

Concept Introduction:

The instantaneous rate of the reaction is referred to the change in the molar concentration in the distinct interval of time.  The instantaneous rate of consumption or the disappearance of reactant is negative.  Mathematical expression is shown below.

  $\text{Instantaeous rate of consumption of R }=-\frac{1}{\text{a}}\frac{\text{d}\left[\text{R}\right]}{\text{d}t}$

The instantaneous rate of formation or the appearance of reactant is positive.  Mathematical expression is shown below.

  $\text{Instantaneous rate of formation of P }=+\frac{1}{\text{b}}\frac{\text{d}\left[\text{P}\right]}{\text{d}t}$
