As early as 1938, the use of NaOH was suggested as a means of removing CO2 from the cabin of a spacecraft according to the following (unbalanced) reaction: NaOH + CO2 Na2CO3 + H2O. a. If the average human body discharges 925.0 g CO2 per day, how many moles of NaOH are needed each day for each person in the spacecraft? b. How many moles of each product are formed? 1
Melodi Harfouche Chemistry 130 Dr. Yihui Yang 02/09/2017 Integrated Rate Law: Dependence of Concentration on Time The integrated rate law essentially links concentrations of reactants or products w/time directly For the reaction A products, the rate is =k[A]^n Applying calculus to integrate the rate law (which is the initial rate of a reaction) gives another equation which shows the relationship between the concentration of reactant A and the time of the reaction o That equation that comes out of that is the integrated rate law FirstOrder Reactions For firstorder reactions, the rate law is =k[A]^1, which is essentially just =k[A] For the integrated rate law of a firstorder reaction it is o where
