The rate constant of the reaction A B is 0.6 10-3 mol L-1 s-1. If the concentration of A is 5 M, then concentration of B after 20 minutes is
- 3.60 M
- 0.36 M
- 0.72 M
- 1.08 M
Answer
(3) 0.72 M
Solution
∵ The unit of k is mol L-1 s-1 ⇒ the reaction is of zero order.
For a zero order reaction, [A]0 - [A] = kt
⇒ [B] = kt
= 0.6 10-3 (20 60)
= 0.72 M
Answer: (3)
