What is the mathematical expression that represents the rate of the reaction in first class of reactions?
Options
- A-d[R]/dt = k[R]
- Bd[R]/dt = k[R]
- C[dR/dt] = k
- D[dR/dt] = -k
Correct answer
A. -d[R]/dt = k[R]
Step-by-step solution
The rate of the reaction is proportional to the first power of the concentration of the reactant R, which is mathematically represented as -d[R]/dt = k[R].
