Question: (A) The reaction A 2 B + C is first order. If the initial [A] = 2.80 M and k = 3.02 x 10
(A) The reaction A → 2 B + C is first order. If the initial [A] = 2.80 M and k = 3.02 x 10-3 s-1, what is the value of [A] after 325 s?
(B) Use data tabulated in Figure 20-4, together with equation (20.13), to show that the decomposition of H2O2 is a first-order reaction. Use a pair of data points for [H2O2]0 and [H2O2]t and their corresponding times to solve for k. Repeat this calculation using other sets of data. How should the results compare?
