A chemistry graduate student is studying the rate of this reaction: H2CO3(aq) →H2O(aq)+CO2(aq)
He fills a reaction vessel with H2CO3 and measures its concentration as the reaction proceeds:
time (minutes) H2CO3
0 0.100M
1.0 0.0435M
2.0 0.0278M
3.0 0.0205M
4.0 0.0162M
write the reate law for this reaction: k ?
calculate the value of the rate constant k. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Also be sure your answer has the correct unit symbols.
