Chapter 22, Problem 22.12

(choose chapter or problem)

Use mathematical software or an electronic spreadsheet to examine the time dependence of [I] in the reaction mechanism A IP (k1, k2). You may either integrate eqn 22.39 numerically (see Appendix 2) or use eqn 22.40 directly. In all the following calculations, use [A]0 = 1 mol dm3 and a time range of 0 to 5 s. (a) Plot [I] against t for k1 = 10 s1 and k2 = 1 s1. (b) Increase the ratio k2/k1 steadily by decreasing the value of k1 and examine the plot of [I] against t at each turn. What approximation about d[I]/dt becomes increasingly valid?
