Question

I need to solve this differential equation using Euler's method. I have not taken differntials, so I need someone to walk me through the steps and solve this equation. I am a calc iii student, so there is no need to show a bunch of algebraic steps or how to take an integral. I just need to get this equation in its final form. Thanks ahead of time, and I do rate answers.

The decomposition of formaldehyde (CH2O) on a newly developed catalyst is a non-elementary reaction with a fractional reaction order. The rate law for this reaction can be expressed as: -d[CH2O]/dt = k1[CH2O]1.3 + k2[CH2O]0.7 where k1 and k2 are rate constants. Using Euler's method to solve the differential equation, write a program that will plot how

Explanation / Answer

let concentration of CH2O be x

dx/dt = f = -k1(x^1.3)-k2(x^0.7)

With initial concentration and proper time intervals with sufficient step size and known values of k1 and k2.

Calculate f0,f1,f2 and so on

From them measure the approximate values of Concentrations using Euler equations.
