Answer : The value of the constant for a second order reaction is,
Explanation :
The expression used for second order kinetics is:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time = 17s
= final concentration = 0.0981 M
= initial concentration = 0.657 M
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:
Therefore, the value of the constant for a second order reaction is,
Initial speed of the car (u) = 15 m/s
Final speed of the car (v) = 0 m/s (Car comes to a complete stop after driver applies the brake)
Distance travelled by the car before it comes to halt (s) = 63 m
By using equation of motion, we get:
Acceleration of the car (a) = -1.78 m/s²
Magnitude of the car's acceleration (|a|) = 1.78 m/s²
