Question 2
The rate constant for a certain reaction is 0.05 s-1. If the ini-
tial concentration of reactant is 1.0 M, calculate the concentration of
reactant after 20 seconds.
Solution:
The rate of the reaction can be given by the equation:
rate =−d[reactant]
dt =k[reactant]
Given that the rate constant k= 0.05 s−1and the initial concen-
tration of reactant [reactant]0= 1.0M, we can write the differential
equation:
−d[reactant]
dt = 0.05[reactant]
Separating variables and integrating, we get:
Z1
[reactant]d[reactant] = −Z0.05 dt
ln [reactant] = −0.05t+C1
Where C1is the constant of integration.
Using the initial concentration, we find that when t= 0,[reactant] =
1.0M:
ln 1 = −0.05(0) + C1
C1= 0
Therefore, the equation becomes:
ln [reactant] = −0.05t
To find the concentration after 20 seconds, we substitute t= 20
into the equation:
ln [reactant] = −0.05(20)
ln [reactant] = −1
[reactant] = e−1
[reactant]≈0.3679 M

tration of reactant [reactant]0= 1.0M, we can write the differential
equation:
−d[reactant]
dt = 0.05[reactant]
Separating variables and integrating, we get:
Z1
[reactant]d[reactant] = −Z0.05 dt
ln [reactant] = −0.05t+C1
Where C1is the constant of integration.
Using the initial concentration, we find that when t= 0,[reactant] =
1.0M:
ln 1 = −0.05(0) + C1
C1= 0
Therefore, the equation becomes:
ln [reactant] = −0.05t
To find the concentration after 20 seconds, we substitute t= 20
into the equation:
ln [reactant] = −0.05(20)
ln [reactant] = −1
[reactant] = e−1
[reactant]≈0.3679 M

Question 5
The rate of a chemical reaction doubles when the concentration of
reactant A is tripled. If the rate law for the reaction is given by the
equation: rate =k[A]x[B]y, determine the values of xand y.
Step-by-step Solution:
Given that the rate of the reaction doubles when the concentration
of reactant A is tripled, we can set up the following relationship:
rate2= 2 ×rate1
Substitute the given rate law equation into the above relationship:
k[3A]x[B]y= 2 ×k[A]x[B]y
Since the rate constant kand the concentration of reactant B re-

To find the rate of change of concentration of B, d[B]
dt , we can use
the stoichiometry of the reaction.
Since 2 moles of A react with 1 mole of B, the relation between
the rates of change of A and B is:
1
2×d[A]
dt =−d[B]
dt
Substitute the given values into the equation above:

The rate constant for a first-order reaction is 3.45 min−1. If the
initial concentration of the reactant is 0.05 M, what will be the con-
centration after 10 minutes?
Solution:
The first-order rate equation is given by:
ln [A]t
[A]0=−kt
Where: [A]t= concentration of reactant at time t,[A]0= initial
concentration of reactant, k= rate constant, t= time.
Substitute the given values into the equation:
ln [A]t
0.05=−3.45 ×10
ln [A]t
0.05=−34.5
[A]t
0.05 =e−34.5
