1. Rate laws are always determined experimentally. 2. The correct unit K (rate constant) for the first order reaction is S-. 3. The half-life, t, is the time required for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to half of its initial val 4. xThe half-life, tv, for a first order reaction is expressed as tv, = In2/K. 5. The activation energy (Ea) is the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. 6. Bimolecular reaction - elementary step with 2 molecules. 7. SOLVE THIS PROBLEM Chlorine dioxide reacts in basic water to form chlorite and chlorate according to the following chemical equation:2C1O(aq) + 2OH(aq) CIO(aq) + CIO:(aq) + HO(l) A kinetic study of this reaction under a certain set of conditions yielded the data below.
