2 C2F4 → C4F8 is 0.0410 M−1 s −1 . We start with 0.105 mol C2F4 in a 4.00-liter container, with no C4F8 initially present. What will be the concentration of C2F4 after 3.00 hours ? Answer in units of M.

Respuesta :

Answer:

After three hours, concentration of C₂F₄ is 0.00208M

Explanation:

As the units of the rate constant of the reaction are M⁻¹s⁻¹ we can know this reaction is of second order. Its integrated law is:

[tex]\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +Kt[/tex]

Where [A] and [A]₀ represents initial and final concentrations of the reactant (C₂F₄), K is rate constant (0.0410M⁻¹s⁻¹) and t is time.

3.00 hours are in seconds:

3 hours ₓ (3600 seconds / 1 hour) = 10800 seconds

Computing in the equation:

[tex]\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[0.105mol / 4L]} +0.0410M^{-1}s^{-1}*10800s\\\frac{1}{[A]} = 480.9M^{-1}\\\[/tex]

[A] = 0.00208M

After three hours, concentration of C₂F₄ is 0.00208M
