For a zero order reaction, concentration of reactant at any given time \mathrm{t, A=A o-K t \quad} where Ao is initial concentration and \mathrm{t}  is time elapsed So after 5 minutes, \mathrm{A=1.0 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}-2.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \times 5 \times 60 \mathrm{~s}}
\mathrm{ \Rightarrow A=1-0.6 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} } 
\mathrm{ \Rightarrow A=0.40 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} }.
