Excellent video! I did a review just like this in my office hours. Your video will surely help numerous students for the quiz this week! Great job!

Hey Kayla & Sarah!


Can you explain again why in the second order we derive [A]^-2 to be -[A]^-1 instead of -2[A]^-3?
I'm not sure how negatives work with these derivatives.


Also, just for clarification, are each of the final equations are set up to find a new concentration since in each eaquation we separated [A] to one side of the equation?



Thank you!!


Best,

Raquel

To go from [A]^-2 to -[A]^-1, you have to integrate it, not derive it.

But you're right, if we were to derive [A]^-2, we would get -2[A]^-3.

Hey Neil!

Thank you!


So is the integration rule adding one to the exponent then putting that exponent in front?

[Neil DSilva 1L]

Integration is just reversing the process of finding the derivative, so you would add one to the exponent and divide by the new exponent (whereas in deriving something, you multiple by the exponent and then subtract one from the exponent).

Awesome!


Thank you, Neil!!
