Question

At a certain temperature this reaction follows first-order Kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0660

Answer 1

Answer:

After 26.0s, the concentration of HI decreases from 0.310M to 0.0558M.

Explanation:

Based on the reaction of the problem, you have as general kinetic law for a first-order reaction:

ln[HI] = -kt + ln [HI]₀

Where [HI] is actual concentration after time t,

k is rate constant

and [HI]₀ is initial concentration of the reactant.

Initial concentration of HI is 0.310M,

K is 0.0660s⁻¹,

And the actual concentration is 0.0558M:

ln[HI] = -kt + ln [HI]₀

ln[0.0558M] = -0.0660s⁻¹*t + ln [ 0.310M]

-1.7148 = -0.0660s⁻¹*t

26.0s = t

After 26.0s, the concentration of HI decreases from 0.310M to 0.0558M
