Deriving these equations

Postby Miriam Sheetz 2B » Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:47 pm

Do we have to know how to derive the equations for first order reactions? Or just understand the concept/how to do calculations.

I believe you're okay just knowing the concept and applying it but being able to derive it could give you a better understanding.

Hello!

Dr Lavelle derived the equations so that we could have a better understanding of why there are true and where they come from, rather than just giving it to us. However, for the exam, you could just memorize them and use them as is.

Hope this helps :)
