The second order reaction A → Products takes 13.5 s for the concentration of A to decrease from 0.740 M to 0.319 M. What is the value of k for this reaction?

Respuesta :

The rate constant of the second order reaction is 0.137 M-1s-1.

What is the rate constant?

For the second order reaction we can write;

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o

[A]o = initial concentration

[A] = final concentration

k = rate constant

t = time

Now;

1/0.319 = 13.5k + 1/ 0.740

1/0.319 - 1/0.740 = 13.5k

3.13 - 1.35 = 13k

k = 3.13 - 1.35/13

k = 0.137 M-1s-1
