A container filled with a 0.500 M solution of A and following first order reaction. The concentration of C is found to be 0.210 M after 120 seconds. What is the instantaneous rate of the reaction at this time?
change in concentration = 0.500 - 0.210 =0.290 M
time = 120 sec
instantaneous rate = change in concentration /time
= 0.290 / 120
=2.42 x 10^-3 M / s
