Solution for final

1. a) Postulate the order (0.5pts)

b) Rearrange & integrate the differential equation to obtain the appropriate function, which
when plotted as a function of time should be linear. (0.5pts)

c) Analyze the data for “goodness of fit” to determine the order and rate constant.

d) If the rearranged function is linear, then the guessed order is correct & the slope is rate
constant.
