Problem- Sucrose decomposes to fructose and glucose in acid solution. When in [sucrose] is plotted vs. time, a straight line with slope of -0.208 hr-1 results. What is the rate law for the reaction?
Answer:
A) Rate = 0.208 hr-1 [sucrose]2
B) Rate = 0.208 hr-1 [sucrose]
C) Rate = 0.0433 hr [sucrose]2
D) Rate = 0.0433 hr [sucrose]
E) Rate = 0.208 mol L-1hr-1 [sucrose]0
