4.2 For the reaction:
the rate = with . Calculate the initial rate of the reaction when. Calculate the rate of reaction after is reduced to .
The initial rate of reaction =
substitute the given values of [A], [B] and k,
rate =
=8
When [A] is reduced from 0.1 mol/L to 0.06 mol/L
So, conc. of A reacted = 0.1-0.06 = 0.04 mol/L
and conc. of B reacted = 1/2(0.04) = 0.02mol/L
conc. of B left = (0.2-0.02) = 0.18 mol/L
Now, the rate of the reaction is (R) =
=
