A reaction of the form

aA - Products

gives a plot of 1/[A] vs time (in seconds) which is a straight line with a slope of 4.15 x 103. Assuming [A]o = 0.100 M, calculate the time in seconds) required
for the reaction to reach 38.3 percent completion.

Respuesta :

The time taken for the second order reaction is 1494 seconds.

What is a second order reaction?

A second order reaction is one in which  a plot of the inverse of the concentration of a reactant versus time is a straight line  and gives the slope of k which is the rate constant.

The formula for a second order reaction is;

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

[A]o = 0.100 M

[A] = 0.100 M - (0.383 × 0.100 M) = 0.0617 M

k = 4.15 x 10^-3

t = ?

t = (0.0617 M)^-1 - ( 0.100 M)^-1/4.15 x 10^-3

t = 16.2 - 10/4.15 x 10^-3

t = 1494 seconds
