The inversion of sucrose according to the reaction C12H22O11 +H2O --> 2C6H12O6 was observed at 25C and the experimental times adn concentrations are given below. The initial concentration of sucrose was 1.0023 M
Time (minutes): 0 | 30 | 60 | 90 | 130
Sucrose inverted (product), M 0 | 0.1001 | 0.1946 | 0.2770 | 0.3726
Show the table and three graphs needed to determine the order of the reaction.
Use the graph to determine the rate constant.
The given values are
Time(min) | [Sucrose] M | ln[Sucrose] | 1/[Sucrose] |
30 | 0.1001 | -2.301585593 | 9.99000999 |
60 | 0.1946 | -1.636809109 | 5.138746146 |
90 | 0.277 | -1.283737773 | 3.610108303 |
130 | 0.3726 | -0.987249821 | 2.683843264 |
|
=>The plot between [Sucrose] vs time is a straight line then it iszero order.
=> The plot between ln[Sucrose] vs time is a straight line then it is first order.
=>The plot between 1/[Sucrose] vs time is a straight line then it is second order.
From the above graphs the best fit is Zero order fit with R2=0.993.
So the order of the reaction is Zero, the slope of the line is equall to rate constant.
So rate constant k=0.0271 M/min.
