Initial concentration of [π΄] πππ $πΏ ^{β1}$ | Initial concentration of [π΅] πππ$πΏ ^{β1}$ | Initial rate of formation of [πΆ] πππ $πΏ^{β1} π ^{β1}$ |
0.2 | 0.2 | 0.3 |
0.4 | 0.2 | 0.6 |
0.4 | 0.4 | 2.4 |
To determine the order with respect to A, we compare the initial rates for the same concentration of [B]. The rate doubles as [A] doubles, indicating the order is 1 with respect to A
The decomposition of a compound A follows first-order kinetics. The concentration of A at time t = 0 is 1.0 mol L-1. After 60 minutes, it reduces to 0.25 mol L-1. What is the initial rate of the reaction at t = 0? (Take ln 2 = 0.693)
