For the reaction A products. [figure] The concentration of A at 10 minutes is 10-3 mol L-1 (nearest integer). The reaction was started with 2.5 mol L-1 of A.
Answer
2435
Solution
The graph of t1/2 versus [A]0 is a straight line through the origin, i.e. t1/2 [A]0.
The reaction is of zero order, for which t1/2 = [A]02k
Slope = 12k = 76.92 min L mol-1
k = 12 76.92 = 6.5 10-3 mol L-1 min-1
For a zero order reaction: [A] = [A]0 - kt
[A] = 2.5 - (6.5 10-3)(10)
= 2.5 - 0.065 = 2.435 mol L-1
= 2435 10-3 mol L-1
Answer: 2435
