Q.
A(g)B(g) is a first order reaction. The initial concentration of A is 0.2molL−1. After 10 min, the concentration of B is found to be 0.18molL−1. The rate constant (inmin−1) for the reaction is
Given, A(g)B(g) (first order reaction) Initial concentration of A=0.2molL−1 Concentration of B=0.18 molL−1 Concentration of A after 10 min =0.2−0.18=0.02 mol L−1 time (r)= 10 min Rate constant, k=t2.303loga−xa=102.303log0.020.2=0.2303min−1
