Answer:

2.038 seconds.

Explanation:

So, in the question above we are given the following parameters in order to solve this question. We are given a rate constant of 0.500 s^-, initial concentration= 0.860 M and final concentration= 0.310 M,the time,t =??.

Assuming that the equation for the first order of reaction is given below,that is;

A ---------------------------------> products.

Recall the formula below;

B= B° e^-kt.

Therefore, e^-kt = B/B°.

-kt = ln B/B°.

kt= ln B°/B.

Where B° and B are the amount of the initial concentration and the amount of the concentration remaining, k is the rate constant and t = time taken for the concentration to decrease.

So, we have; time taken,t = ln( 0.860/.310)/0.500.

==> ln 2.77/0.500.

==> time taken,t =2.038 seconds.

aleksley [76]

Answer :

The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

The order of reaction is, second order reaction.

Explanation :

The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

(Concentration)^{(1-n)}(Time)^{-1}

Unit of rate constant                           Order of reaction

Concentration/Time                                        0

Time^{-1}                                                              1

(Concentration)^{-1}Time^{-1}                                 2

As the unit of rate constant is M^{-1}min^{-1}. So, the order of reaction is second order.

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = 1.95M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time = ?

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.97 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 2.48 M

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

1.95\times t=\frac{1}{0.97}-\frac{1}{2.48}

t=0.32min=0.32\times 60s=19.2s

Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
