Derive the integrated rate equation for the rate constant of a first order reaction.
Consider a first order reaction R → P
On integration, we get d[R]
In [R] = -Kt + I ……. (1)
Where I = Integration constant To calculate I,
t = 0,[R] = [R]0
In [R]0 = -k x 0 + I
I = in[R]0
Substitute the value of I in eq2 …. (1)
In [R] = -Kt + In[R]0
