Question

A reaction that involves reagent X as the limiting reagent is begun with an initial concentration of 0.732-M X. The reaction reaches completion in 60 seconds. What is the initial rate of this reaction with respect to X?

Answer 1

The answer to the question is 0.0122 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of a reaction is the measure of the change in concentration of a reagent within a specific time frame. Reaction rate of a substance can be calculated by finding the division of the concentration change of the substance and the time required to undergo the change in concentration.

`Average reaction rate (Change in the moles count of X)/(Change in time) =`

The initial number of moles of X = 0.732 moles and final number of moles of X = 0 moles and the time it took to effect the change = 60s

then the rate of reaction =
`(0.732)/(60)` = 0. 0122 moles per second

the rate of the reaction involving X = 0.0122 m/s
