A reaction was experimentally determined to follow the rate law, Rate = k[A] where k = 0.15 s-1. Starting with [A]o = 0.225M, how many seconds will it take for [A]t = 0.0350M?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The time the reaction takes is 12.4s

Explanation:

A reaction that follows the rate law:

Rate =k[A] is order 1 and follows the equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

Where [A] is concentration of the reaction after time t: 0.0350M

k is rate constant = 0.15s⁻¹

t is time in seconds

[A]⁰ is initial concentration = 0.225M

Ln[0.0350] = -0.15s⁻¹*t + ln[0.225]

-1.86075 =  -0.15s⁻¹*t

12.4s = t

The time the reaction takes is 12.4s
