Title: Advice on rate law question.
Post by: zuriel on March 27, 2015, 06:41:03 AM
Hey folks, I'm a bit confused at a question I have to do and I'm wondering if anyone can offer a guide in the right direction to help me work it out? The part in question is how to adapt the equation to determine a numerical value for k1.

See attached images for the entire question (for clarity) and the part in question. I appreciate all advice, thanks!!  :)

Hint: Consider the magnitude of [PhCO2-] during the reaction. There is an approximation you can make.
