Question

A reaction that involves reagent X as the limiting reagent is begun with an initial concentration of 0.732-M X. The reaction reaches completion in 60 seconds. What is the initial rate of this reaction with respect to X?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to the question is 0.0122 m/s

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is the measure of the change in concentration of a reagent within a specific time frame. Reaction rate of a substance can be calculated by finding the division of the concentration change of the substance and the time required to undergo the change in concentration.

$Average reaction rate \frac{Change in the moles count of X}{Change in time} =$

The initial number of moles of X = 0.732 moles and final number of moles of X  = 0 moles and the time it took to effect the change = 60s

then the rate of reaction = $\frac{0.732}{60}$ = 0. 0122 moles per second

the rate of the reaction involving X = 0.0122 m/s
