Question 78

The table below records the rate of a chemical reaction, R(t)R(t)R(t), in mol dm−3^{-3}−3 s−1^{-1}−1, at various times ttt seconds after initiation. The values of R(t)R(t)R(t) are rounded to 3 decimal places.

R(t)R(t)R(t)0.4201.2582.1151.6430.312
a.

Using the trapezium rule with all the values of R(t)R(t)R(t) in the given table, obtain an estimate for the total change in concentration, given by

∫02R(t) dt \int_{0}^{2} R(t) \, dt ∫02​R(t)dt

giving your answer to 2 decimal places.

b.

Use your answer to part (a) to estimate (i)

[∫02(R(t)+5) dt [\int_{0}^{2} (R(t) + 5) \, dt [∫02​(R(t)+5)dt

(ii)

[∫13R(t−1) dt [\int_{1}^{3} R(t-1) \, dt [∫13​R(t−1)dt
