Kinetics- First order rate integrated rate equation
« on: September 19, 2011, 10:44:17 AM »
Hi,

How do you get from

ln[A]=kt+ln[A]o  to .         ln[A]/[A]0=-kt

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe the integrated equation is ln[A]=-kt+ln[A]0.

After that it's just rearranging using rules for logarithms. For example
  ln(a)-ln(b)=ln(a/b)
