Question: A general reaction written as A + 2B C + 2D is studied and yields the following data: [A] 0 [B] 0 Initial D[C]/D

A general reaction written as A + 2B ® C + 2D is studied and yields the following data:


[A] 0
[B] 0
Initial D[C]/D t

0.150 M
0.150 M
8.00 ´ 10 –3 mol/L·s

0.150 M
0.300 M
1.60 ´ 10 –2 mol/L·s


0.300 M
0.150 M
3.20 ´ 10 –2 mol/L·s





1. What is the numerical value of the rate constant?

2. Determine the initial rate of B consumption (D[B]/D t ) for the first trial?

3. For a first order reaction with a rate constant k = 3.13 x 10 2 s -1 , how long does it take for the concentration of the only reactant to become 40% of the original amount?
