The isomerization reaction,CH₃NC → CH₃CN,is first order and the rate constant is equal to 0.46 s^-1 at 600 K.What is the concentration of CH₃NC after 0.20 minutes if the initial concentration is 0.30 M?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is:ln[A]t=−kt+ln[A]0where [A]t is the concentration of the reactant at time t, k is the rate constant, and [A]0 is the initial concentration of the reactant.We can use this equation to calculate the concentration of CH3NC after 0.20 minutes:ln[CH3NC]t=−(0.46 s−1)(0.20 min)(60 s/min)+ln(0.30 M)ln[CH3NC]t=−5.52+ln(0.30 M)[CH3NC]t=e−5.52+ln(0.30 M)[CH3NC]t=1.2 × 10−3 M
