Question

The Van't Hoff differential method utilizes the initial instantaneous rates ($r_1$ and $r_2$) at two different initial concentrations ($c_1$ and $c_2$) to deduce kinetic order. The correct mathematical expression for the reaction order $n$ is:

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Applying logarithms to the rate law yields . Setting this up for two separate states and subtracting them perfectly eliminates the constant , resulting in . This isolates to .
