When chemists are performing kinetics experiments, the general rule of thumb is to allow the reaction to
Question:
(a) Explain how you would be able to tell that the reaction has proceeded for 4 half-lives.
(b) Let us suppose a reaction A → B takes 6 days to proceed for 4 half-lives and is first order in A. However, when your lab partner performs this reaction for the first time, he does not realize how long it takes, and he stops taking kinetic data, monitoring the loss of A, after only 2 hours. Your lab partner concludes the reaction is zero order in A based on the data. Sketch a graph of [A] versus time to convince your lab partner the two of you need to be in the lab for a few days to obtain the proper rate law for the reaction?

What I have learnt in my 8 years experience of tutoring is that you really need to have a friendly relationship with your students so they can come to you with their queries without any hesitation. I am quite hardworking and I have strong work ethics. Since I had never been one of those who always top in the class and always get A* no matter what, I can understand the fear of failure and can relate with my students at so many levels. I had always been one of those who had to work really hard to get decent grades. I am forever grateful to some of the amazing teachers that I have had who made learning one, and owing to whom I was able to get some extraordinary grades and get into one of the most prestigious universities of the country. Inspired by those same teachers, I am to be like one of them - who never gives up on her students and always believe in them!
