Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a first-order reaction, if the concentration of reactant decreases from 0.8 M to 0.2 M in 20 minutes, what is the rate constant? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the initial concentration of the reactant, A₀, which is 0.8 M.
  • Step 2: Identify the final concentration of the reactant, A, which is 0.2 M.
  • Step 3: Identify the time period, t, which is 20 minutes.
  • Step 4: Use the first-order rate equation: k = (ln[A₀] - ln[A]) / t.
  • Step 5: Calculate ln(0.8) and ln(0.2).
  • Step 6: Substitute the values into the equation: k = (ln(0.8) - ln(0.2)) / 20.
  • Step 7: Perform the calculation to find k.
