The Integrated Rate Law
Captions available
The idea
An integrated rate law relates a reactant's concentration directly to elapsed time, letting a concentration or time be calculated.
In practice
An integrated rate law finds how long a stored radioactive sample must wait before its activity decays to a safe level.
Where people slip
A rate law and its integrated form answer two questions about one reaction — how fast, versus how much remains.
