Form of Rate Law Used

Throughout this chapter, we refer to a single-phase, irreversible reaction corresponding to the stoichiometric equation 1.4-7  

The corresponding reaction is written in the manner of reaction (A) in Section 3.1.2  

We assume that the rate law for this reaction has the form, from equations 3.1-2 and 1.4-8, 

We also assume that the various rate constants depend on T in accordance with the Arrhenius equation. Thus, from equations 3.1-8 and 4.1-3, 

Note that, included in equations 4.1-3 and -4, and corresponding to equation 1.4-8 (r = rjv), are the relations
