Equation 5-60 is the generalized equation, whieh ean be used to determine the reaetion time of an nth order reaetion with b, the stoiehiometrie eoeffieient of the produet eomponent B. 

Equation 5-247 is a polynomial, and the roots (C ) are determined using a numerical method such as the Newton-Raphson as illustrated in Appendix D. For second order kinetics, the positive sign (-r) of the quadratic Equation 5-245 is chosen. Otherwise, the other root would give a negative concentration, which is physically impossible. This would also be the case for the nth order kinetics in an isothermal reactor. Therefore, for the nth order reaction in an isothermal CFSTR, there is only one physically significant root (0 < C < C g) for a given residence time f. 

In the discussion of hypoelectronic metals in ref. 4, the number of ways of distributing Nv/2 bonds among NL/2 positions in a crystal containing N atoms with valence v and ligancy L was evaluated. The number per atom is the Nth root of this quantity. Structures for which the number of bonds on any atom is other than v-l,v, orv + l were then eliminated with use of the binomial distribution function [only the charge states M+, M°, and M are allowed by the electroneutrality principle (5)]. In this way the following expression for rhypo, the number of resonance structures per atom for a hypoelectronic metal, was obtained ... 

Given that the decomposition of SrC03 is a simple nth order reaction and that the rate consteUit is 4 x lO" mol/sec. at 865 °C, calculate the amount of SrO formed in 10.0 minutes from the original 1.0 mol of powder, if the reaction is a first-order reaction.

The equation involving t for the general case of a reaction of the nth order as shown above applies to any value of n except n = 1, for this case the treatment leading to exponential equation shown in first-order reaction (In a/(a- x) = kt) must be employed. The equation is applicable for n = 2. Other cases, including those of nonintegral orders, can easily be worked out. The half-life, t0 5, is seen to be inversely proportional to k in all cases, and inversely proportional to the (n - 1) power of the concentration.

According to equation 8.5-28, the nth-order surface reaction becomes a reaction for which the observed order is (n + l)/2. Thus, a zero-order surface reaction becomes one of order 1/2, a first-order reaction remains first-order, and second-order becomes order 3/2. This is the result if De is independent of concentration, as would be the case if Knud-sen diffusion predominated. If molecular diffusion predominates, for pure A, DecrcA, and the observed order becomes n/2,with corresponding results for particular orders of surface reaction (e.g., a first-order surface reaction is observed to have order 1/2).
