For the reaction A + H2O → products, find the rate of the reaction when [A] = 0.75 M, k= 0.02.
a) 0.077 s-1
b) 0.085 s-1
c) 0.015 s-1
d) 0.026 s-1
Answer : c) 0.015 s-1
Explanation :
Given :
[A] = 0.75 M, k= 0.02
Reaction : A + H2O → products
For pseudo first order reaction rate equation is R = k [A].
The reaction is pseudo first order reaction based on the unit is s-1.
The formula to calculate the rate of pseudo first order reaction is given by,
R = k [A]
= 0.02 × 0.75
= 0.015 s-1.
c) 0.015 s-1
