Keith modeled the growth over several hundred years of a tree population by estimating the number of the trees’ pollen grains per square centimeter that were deposited each year within layers of a lake’s sediment. He estimated there were 310 pollen grains per square centimeter the first year the grains were deposited, with a 1% annual increase in the number of grains per square centimeter thereafter. Which of the following functions models P(t), the number of pollen grains per square centimeter t years after the first year the grains were deposited?

The rate law expresison is given for a typical reaction, n_(1)A + n_(2) B rarrP as r = k[A]^(n)[B]^(n2) . The reaction completes only in one step and A and B are present in the solution. If the reaction occurs in more than one step, then the rate law is expressed by consdering the slowest step, i.e., for S_(N)l reaction r = k[RX] . If the eraction occurs in more than one step and the rates of the steps involved are comparable, then steady state approximation is conisdered, i.e., the rate of formation of intermediate is always equal to the rate of decompoistion of the intermediate. Conisder the reaction: [[I_(2) underset(k_(1))overset(k_(2))hArr2I("rapid equilibrium")],[H_(2)+2I overset(k_(3))rarr 2HI("slow")]] Which of the following expresison is correct?
