Question

Find the rate constantrif the population doubles in 12 days.b.ifp= 200 initially (whent= 0), what is the population whent= 18 days?

Answer 1

The rate constant is 0.058/days and the population after 18 days is 412.38.

What is rate constant?

The rate constant of the population is calculated as follows;

N = N₀(2)^(rt)

where;

• r is the rate constant
• t of double of the population

when the population doubles, t = 12 days

2N₀ = N₀(2)^(12r)

2 = (2)^(12r)

ln(2) = 12r

r = ln(2)/12

r = 0.058/days

Population size after 18 days

The population size after 18 days is calculated as follows;

N = 200(2)^(0.058 x 18)

N = 412.38

Thus, the rate constant is 0.058/days and the population after 18 days is 412.38.
