Answer:
The answer to the question is
The rate constant for the reaction is 1.056×10⁻³ M/s
Explanation:
To solve the question, e note that
For a zero order reaction, the rate law is given by
[A] = -k×t + [A]₀
This can be represented by the linear equation y = mx + c
Such that y = [A], m which is the gradient is = -k, and the intercept c = [A]₀
Therefore the rate constant k which is the gradient is given by
Gradient = where [A]₁ = 8.10×10⁻² M and [A]₂ = 1.80×10⁻³ M
= = -0.001056 M/s = -1.056×10⁻³ M/s
Threfore k = 1.056×10⁻³ M/s
