A reactant decomposes with a half-life of 29.5 s when its initial concentration is 0.229 M. When the initial concentration is 0.

639 M, this same reactant decomposes with a half-life of 82.3 s. What is the value and unit of the rate constant for this reaction?

Answer :

The order of reaction is, 0 (zero order reaction).

The value of rate constant is, 0.00388Ms^{-1}

Explanation :

Half life : It is defined as the time in which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its original value.

The general expression of half-life for nth order is:

t_{1/2}\propto \frac{1}{[A_o]^{n-1}}

or,

\frac{t_{1/2}_1}{t_{1/2}_2}=\frac{[A_2]^{n-1}}{[A_1]^{n-1}}

or,

n=\left(\frac{\log\frac{(t_{1/2})_1}{(t_{1/2})_2}}{\log\frac{(A)_2}{(A)_1}}\right )+1           .............(1)

where,

t_{1/2} = half-life of the reaction

n = order of reaction

[A] = concentration

As we are given:

Initial concentration of A = 0.229 M

Final concentration of A = 0.639 M

Initial half-life of the reaction = 29.5 s

Final half-life of the reaction = 82.3 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

n=\left (\frac{\log \frac{29.5}{82.3}}{\log\frac{0.639}{0.229}}\right )+1

n=0.000196\approx 0

Thus, the order of reaction is, 0 (zero order reaction).

Now we have to determine the rate constant.

To calculate the rate constant for zero order the expression will be:

t_{1/2}=\frac{[A_o]}{2k}

When,

t_{1/2} = 29.5 s

[A_o] = 0.229 M

29.5s=\frac{0.229M}{2k}

k=0.00388Ms^{-1}

Thus, the value of rate constant is, 0.00388Ms^{-1}

When the dew point temperature and air temperature are equal, the air is said to be saturated. Dew point temperature is NEVER GREATER than the air temperature. Therefore, if the air cools, moisture must be removed from the air and this is accomplished through condensation.
