Carbon disulfide, a poisonous, flammable liquid, is an excellent solvent for phosphorus, sulfur, and some other nonmetals. a kinetic study of its gaseous decomposition reveals these data: experiment initial [cs2] (mol/l) initial rate (mol/l·s) 1 0.100 2.7 × 10−7 2 0.080 2.2 × 10−7 3 0.055 1.5 × 10−7 4 0.044 1.2 × 10−7 (a) choose the rate law for the decomposition of cs2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a linealization helps to choose the rate law for the decomposition of CS₂ as it is generalized via:

Whereas accounts for the order of reaction, which could be computed by linealizing the given data using the following procedure:

Therefore, on the attached picture you will find the graph and the lineal equation wherein the slope is the order of the reaction and the y-axis intercept the natural logarithm of the rate constant. In such a way, the order of reaction is 1 and the rate constant is:

Best regards.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again
