Question
For the reaction R → P, the concentration of a reactant changes from 0.03 M to 0.02 M in 25 minutes. Calculate the average rate of reaction using units of time both in minutes and seconds.
Solution
Average rate of reaction = - `(triangle[R])/(trianglet)`
=-`([R]_2 - [R]_1)/(t_2-t_1)`
=-`(0.02 - 0.03)/25 "M min"^(-1)`
= - `(-0.01)/25 "M min"^(-1)`
= `4 xx 10^(-4) "M min"^(-1)`
= `(4xx10^(-4))/60 M s^(-1)`
= 6.67 × 10−6 M s−1
