Question

A zero-order reaction has a constant rate of 2.30×10−4 M/s. If after 80.0 seconds the concentration has dropped to 1.50×10−2 M, what was the initial concentration?

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial concentration of the reactant = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = 2.30×10−4 M/s,

Time of reaction = 80s

Final concentration = 1.50×10−2 M

Initial concentration = Rate of reaction × Time of reaction + Final concentration

= 2.30×10−4 M/s × 80s + 1.50×10−2 M = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Initial concentration = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M
