Question
(a) Show graphically how the rate of first order reaction vary with only one reactant depends concentration of reactant.
(b) Give one example of first order reaction.
Solution
(a)
above graph show that by increasing the concentration of reactant the rate of reaction also increase.
(b) Example of first order reaction is Hydrogenation of ethene is an example of first order reaction.
C2H4(g) + H2 (g) → C2H6(g)
Rate = k [C2H4]
