[figure] Given above is the concentration vs time plot for a dissociation reaction : A nB. Based on the data of the initial phase of the reaction (initial 10 min), the value of n is .
- 2
- 5
- 4
- 3
Answer
(4) 3
Solution
The falling curve is for A and the rising curve is for B.
In the first 10 min:
[A] = 0.04 - 0.05 = -0.01 M
[B] = 0.03 - 0 = 0.03 M
For A nB: - [A] t = 1n [B] t
n = [B]- [A] = 0.030.01 = 3
Answer: (4)
