Question

Part A

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 9.00×10?3 s^(?1) . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.800 M, what will the concentration be after 2.00 minutes?

Part B

A zero-order reaction has a constant rate of 2.40×10?4M/s. If after 65.0 seconds the concentration has dropped to 3.00×10?2M, what was the initial concentration?

Explanation / Answer

A. According to the units of the rate constant in part A, its a first order reaction.

C=C0 e-kt or logC = logC0 -kt/2.303

logC= log 0.8-9×10-3×120/2.303

C=0.2717moldm-3

B. d(C) /dt =-kC

(C) = (C0) -kt

3×10-2=(C0) - 2.4×10-4×65

(C0) =0.0456moldm-3
