Explanation / Answer

Part A.

For a zero order reaction rate constant k,

k = -(3.50 x 10^-2 - 5 x 10^-2)/360 - 120 = 6.25 x 10^-5 M/s

Part B.

Initial concentration [A]o would be,

[A] = [A]o - kt

3.50 x 10^-2 = [A]o - 6.25 x 10^-5 x 360

[A]o = 0.0575 mol.L-1

Part C.

For a first order reaction,

k = -(ln7.70 x 10^-3 - ln8.60 x 10^-2)/85 - 20 = 0.037 s-1

Part D.

For a second order reaction,

k = [(1/7.90 x 10^-2) - (1/0.710)]/745 - 190 = 0.02 L.mol-1.s-1
