Derive the equation showing the relation between the concentration [R]_(1) and [R]_(2) at time t_(1) and t_(2)

Answer»

SOLUTION :The intergrated rate equation for first order reaction is as,
In [R]=-k`t_(1)+In [R]_(0)` ….V(A)
So,time =`t_(1)` and that time concentration `[R]_(1)` then equation is
In `[R]_(1)=-kt_(1)+IN[R]_(0)`and `t_(2)` the equation is……VII(A)
In `[R]_(2)=-k t_(2)+In [R]_(0)` .......VII(B)
Substracting VII (A) from VII (B),
In `[R]_(1)-In [R]_(2)=-kt_(1)-(-kt_(2))`
`THEREFORE In [R]_(1)-In [R]_(2)=-kt_(1)+kt_(2)`
`therefore In ([R]_(1))/([R]_(2))=k(t_(2)-t_(1))` .......VIII(A)
Taking log in this equation ,
2.303 log `([R]_(1))/([R]_(2))=k(t_(2)-t_(1))`
`therefore log ([R]_(1))/([R]_(2))=(k)/(2.303)(t_(2)-t_(1))` ....VIII(B)
From the above equation the following equation for k
`k=(1)/((t_(2)-t_(2))) In ([R]_(1))/([R]_(2))`.......IX(A)
and `k=(2.303)/((t_(2)-t_(1)))` log `([R]_(1))/([R]_(2))` .......IX (B)
In these equations .If `t_(1)` =zero then `[R]_(1)=[R]_(0)` and after t time ,`t_(2)` =t then `[R]_(2)=[R]` so,in this SITUATION above both equations are as under:
`k=(1)/(t)` In `([R]_(0))/([R])` .......XA
and `k=(2.303)/(t)` log `([R]_(0))/([R])` or .......XB

(The equation is like a form comparing with y=mx +c.The PLOT of log `([R]_(0))/([R])` against t is straight line with egative slope.)
