The reaction A→B has been experimentally determined to be second order. The initial rate is 0.0100M/s at an initial concentration of A of 0.150 M .
1. What is the initial rate at [A]=0.850 M ?
a. | 0.321 M/s |
b. | 0.113 M/s |
c. | 5.67×10−2 M/s |
Answer:-
For a second order reaction the Rate = K[A]2
Here, Rate = 0.0100 M/s
Initial concentration [A] = 0.150 M
Hence Rate constant K = 0.0100 / (0.150)2
= 0.0100 / 0.0225
= 0.4444 M-1S-1
Thus when initial [A] = 0.850 M
Then Rate = 0.4444 (0.850)2
= 0.4444 0.7225
= 0.321 M/S
