- 1. An investigator measured the concentration of a reactant A as a function of time. Part of his data are as follows: time / min [A]/mol dm³ 17.5 0.02566 39.6 0.01300 83.8 0.00650 Using these data, what can we say about the kinetics of the reaction? Determine the rate constant and the initial concentration. Calculate the half-life at time zero.arrow_forwardA certain reaction has the form aA Products At a particular temperature, concentration versus time data were collected. A plot of [A] vs t (in seconds) gave a straight line with a slope of -6.90 × 102.

- You have a second-order reaction for B which has an initial concentration of 30.00 moles in 15.00 L. If this process has a reaction constant k = 1.90x10-6 M-1s-1 What is the half-life of this reaction in second? In minutes? What is the concentration after the first half-life? What is the concentration after 5 half-lives? What is the concentration after 3.00x104 seconds? (hint: use the integrated rate equations!)arrow_forwardThe following data show the rate constnat of a first order reaction measured at several different temperatures. Construct and Arrhenius plot (ln k vs 1/T) to determine the activation energy (Ea). You should use a graphing program like excel to construct your graph. A sketch of the graph including the equation of the line should be included in your notebook. temperature (K) rate constant (s-1) 375 1.68 x 10-5 400 3.50 x 10-5 500 4.20 x 10-4 600 2.11 x 10-3arrow_forwardA particular second order reaction has a rate constant of 0.0345 M-1 min-1 and an initial concentration of 0.300 M.
