How to rearrange the given equation for Ao: ln (Ao/A) = k*t

3 answers

Have you forgotten your Algebra I?

Ao/A = kt
Ao = Akt
No but what about the ln (natural log)??
the equation is [ln(Ao/A)=kt]
This is from the 1st order integrated rate law => A = Aoe^-kt
solve for Ao = A/e^-kt =Ae^kt
(I showed solution for A in earlier post from (ln) function.)
