Thinking about a third-order reaction of the form 2A → P with kr = 6.50x10-4 dm6*mol-2*s-1, find the time required for the concentration of A to change to 0.015 mol*dm-3 from an initial concentration of 0.030 mol*dm-3.
ANSWER:
Given,
Rate of reaction = 3rd order
kr = 6.500 x 10-4 dm6 mol-2 s-1
initial concentration, [A]o = 0.030 mol dm-3
final concentration, [A]t = 0.015 mol dm-3
For the nth order of reaction, rate law can be written as:
So, for third order (n=3) reaction, rate law is:
t = 2564076.9 sec
t = 712.24 hours
Hence, the time required for the concentration of A to change to 0.015 mol dm-3 from an initial concentration of 0.030 mol dm-3 is 2564076.9 sec (or, 712.24 hours).
