Logarithms and the rate equation


Iota

Recommended Posts

I've worked out a rate equation:

 

rate=k'[A]a

 

the nice and easy bit.

 

Now I have to take the logs of both sides of the equation. The thing I'm confused about is that I have no values, it just wants me to show the equation with the logs of both sides taken, so would that literally be shown just as:

 

ln rate= ln k'[A]a ?

I'm not sure how to do that or if the answer would be as basic as writing log next to both sides?

Thanks, I need to improve my maths skills, a point in the right direction is always good.



Right, would it simply be this:

log rate= log k' + log [A]a

I'm unsure what to do with [A]a, if anything at all.
