Question

Consider the reaction: AB As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of A drops from 0.625 M to 0.100 Min 11.6 seconds. What is the average rate of the reaction (in M/s) during this time?

Answer 1

0.045 M/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial concentration of A = 0.625 M

Final concentration of A = 0.100 M

Total time taken for the change of concentration = 11.6 seconds

The average rate of reaction is calculated as:

=
`\frac{\textup{Change in concentration of A}}{\textup{Time taken for the change}}`

on substituting the respective values, we get

=
`\frac{0.625-0.100}{\textup{11.6}}`

or

The average rate of reaction = 0.045 M/s
