Answer:
The concentration of that should used originally is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The necessary elementary step is
The time taken for sixth of 0.5 M of reactant to react
The time available is
The desired concentration to remain
Let Z be the reactant , Y be the first product and X the second product
Generally the elementary rate law is mathematically as
Where k is the rate constant , is the concentration of Z
From the elementary rate law we see that the reaction is second order (This because the concentration of the reactant is raised to power 2 )
For second order reaction
Where is the initial concentration of Z which a value of
From the question we are told that it take 9 hours for the concentration of the reactant to become
So
=>
For
