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:
Unit of rate constant Order of reaction
0
1
2
As the unit of rate constant is . So, the order of reaction is second order.
The expression used for second order kinetics is:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time = ?
= final concentration = 0.97 M
= initial concentration = 2.48 M
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:
Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group (C = O). This functional group, consisting of a carbon atom bound to a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom via double bond (the general formula: CHO) is called the aldehyde group. In a reaction of the addition of alcohol to the carbonyl group, it forms hemiacetals.
