The reaction A $\to$ products is first order.If the initial concentration of A is 0.528 M and,after 16.3 seconds have elapsed,the concentration of A has fallen to 0.0122 M,what is the rate constant of the reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate constant for a first-order reaction is given by the equation k = (1/t) * ln(initial concentration/final concentration). Plugging in the given values, we get k = (1/16.3 s) * ln(0.528 M/0.0122 M) = 0.231 s^-1.
