Empirical Rate Equations of the nth Order

EMPIRICAL RATE EQUATIONS OF THE nth ORDER IRREVERSIBLE REACTIONS 

The rate equation for irreversible reaetions for a eonstant volume bateh system (i.e., eonstant density) is 

The value of n must be found by trial-and-error. In terms of the fraetional eonversion, X, the rate equation is 

Rearranging and integrating Equation 3-78 between the limits gives
