The differential equation for a secondorder chemical reaction without back reaction is

where c is the concentration of the single reactant and k is the rate constant. Set up an Excel spreadsheet to carry out Euler€™s method for this differential equation. Carry out the calculation for the initial concentration 1.000 mol l^ˆ’1, k = 1.000 l mol^ˆ’1 s^ˆ’1 for a time of 2.000 s and for Δt = 0.100 s. Compare your result with the correct answer.
