This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
The conversion of cyclopropane to propene occurs with a first-order rate constant of 2.42 × 10⁻² hr⁻¹. How long will it take for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from an initial concentration 0.080 mol/L to 0.053 mol/L?
Answer : The time taken will be, 17.0 hr
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial concentration of the reactant = 0.080 M
a - x = concentration left = 0.053 M
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time taken will be, 17.0 hr
Radioactive material undergoes 1st order decay kinetics.
For 1st order decay, half life = 0.693/k
where k = rate constant
k = 0.693/half life = 0.693/8.02 = 0.0864 day-1
Now, for 1st order reaction,
k =
Given: t = 6.01d, initial conc. = 5mg
∴0.0864 =
∴ final conc. = 2.975 mg
For 1st order decay, half life = 0.693/k
where k = rate constant
k = 0.693/half life = 0.693/8.02 = 0.0864 day-1
Now, for 1st order reaction,
k =
Given: t = 6.01d, initial conc. = 5mg
∴0.0864 =
∴ final conc. = 2.975 mg
