    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    so initial Z= 4.1 X 10^-3M and Z final would be approximately 0. X is about 2 times the concentration of Y. I figured this one was simplified and not involving 3 substances though we do have a few derivations with 3 substances, we weren't given enough information to deal with a 3 substance problem.

    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    What i have on the graph is -R/(R∞-R) vs. time. the other data is straight off the table. i was assuming concentration was inversely proportional to the change in resistance/conductance. and in that bit you highlighted what i actually was trying to mean was that since the curve wasn't linear...

    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    and thank you. I do appreciate any help and would really like to be able to understand this stuff. It just made so much since in class but when i got down to actually doing the work i realized i was in over my head. If there are any good websites online that don't have the changing...

    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    And resistance is the inverse of concentration. I'm a little fuzzy on how I should actually flip the -(Rt/Rinfinity-Rt) on the left part of the graph given that its technically the inverse. I'm not so good at the math which has really been hurting me because I don't understand a lot of this and...

    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    yes yes that's what i was meaning. I guess I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at... so time infinity would be the most reacted the reaction will go. So Z would probably be the most reacted since there wasn't much of it to begin with? and there would be more of the other 2 left...

    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    The handout on this one is very unclear and hard to follow. (These handouts aren't all that awesome, they're hand written, not in order, they jump around a lot, and he's kinda in his 80's) from what i gather on the hand out (a-x)(b-x) but a~b. In this problem I have 3 species so that would be...

    Chemical kinetics, reaction order, resistance

    X + Y + Z -> A + C+ + B- Initial Concentrations Z= 4.1 X 10^-3M, X=2.3 X 10^-1M, Y= 1.2 X 10^-1 M. http://s121.photobucket.com/user/marykaywest420/media/81386cf6-e132-4578-8fb5-1024a2a3f3d5_zpscc804723.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 3. So my attempt included graphing -R/(R∞-R) vs. time. which produced...
