Calculate the rate of reaction if the initial concentration of a reactant is 1.0 M and after 8 minutes it becomes 0.6 M.

Using the formula, \[
\text{Rate of reaction} = \frac{\Delta C}{\Delta t}
\]

Here, \[
\Delta C = \text{Change in concentration of the reactant}  
\]\[
\Delta C = \text{Initial Concentration} - \text{Final Concentration}
\]\[
\Delta t = \text{Change in time}
\]

Given data, 

  • Initial Concentration = 1.0 M
  • Final Concentration = 0.6 M
  • Time Interval (Δt) = 8 minutes

Putting these values in the formula, \[
\Delta C = 1.0 - 0.6 = 0.4 \, M
\]\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{0.4}{8}
\]\[
\text{Rate} = 0.05 \, M/\text{min}
\]

Therefore, the rate of reaction is 0.05 M/min.
