a. Determine the average reaction rate between 600 and 1200seconds. Also determine the instantaneous rates at 600 secand 1800 sec. Once this is completed Write a general rate law forthis reaction. In addition determine the order of reaction by ratelaw comparison.
b. Using the order of reaction and the rate law, calculate k with units. Determine the rate of reaction at a concentration of.450 mols/liter, using the k and the rate law derived in theprevious step
