Question

Solution A is 0.44 M and reacts with 0.11 M of solution B. Assume that the value of x is 0, the value of y is 1, and r is 1.07 × 10⁻¹ /s. Find the rate constant for this reaction.

Answer 1

K, the rate constant = 9.73 × 10^(-1)/s

Step-by-step explanation:

r = K × [A]^x × [B]^y

r = Rate = 1.07 × 10^(-1)/s

K = Rate constant

A and B = Concentration in mol/dm^-3

A = 0.44M

B = 0.11M

x = Order of reaction with respect to A = 0

y = Order of reaction with respect to B = 1

Solving, we get

r/([A]^x × [B]^y) = K

K = 1.07 × 10^(-1)/s/(0.44^0 × 0.11^1)= 0.9727

K = 0.9727
