Question

Given the formula 1/[NO2]=kt+1/[NO2]0 solve for [NO2]0

Answer 1

So we are given the formula:

$\frac{1}{[NO_{2}]}= \frac{kt+1}{[NO_{2}]_{0}}$

Assuming that 'kt + 1' is one term, since it wasn't too clear in the question.

Then we multiply $[NO_{2}]_{0}$ on both sides to cancel out the right side, and bring it to the numerator on the left side:

$\frac{[NO_{2}]_{0}}{[NO_{2}]} =kt+1$

And now we multiply $[NO_{2}]$ to both sides to cancel out the left side, and bring it to the numerator essentially on the right side:

$[NO_{2}]_{0}=(kt+1)[NO_{2}]$

And now we have the equation solved for $[NO_{2}]_{0}$.
