a reactant decomposes with a half-life of 193 s when its initial concentration is 0.203 m. when the initial concentration is 0.540 m, this same reactant decomposes with the same half-life of 193 s.
What is the order of the reaction?
What is the value and unit of the rate constant for this reaction?

Respuesta :

The order of the reaction is 1

The value and unit of the rate constant for this reaction 5.92*10^-3 s^-1

Reaction order refers to the power dependence of rate on the concentration of each reactant. Therefore, for first-order reactions, the rate depends on the concentration of a single species.

1)

Here half life is independent of concentration.

So, it must be 1st order reaction

2)

Given:

Half life = 117 s

use relation between rate constant and half life of 1st order reaction

k = (ln 2) / k

k= 0.693/(half life)

k= 0.693/(117)

k= 5.92*10^-3 s-1
