Determine the magnitude of the pseudo-rate constant (k') if the magnitude of X in the rate data is 0.00905.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pseudo-rate constant (k') is given by k' = k [B]0, where k is the rate constant and [B]0 is the initial concentration of B. In this case, the rate data can be expressed as k' = X/[A]0, where [A]0 is the initial concentration of A. From the data given in the table, X = 0.00905 and [A]0 = 0.002 M. Thus, k' = X/[A]0 = 0.00905/0.002 = 4.525 = 1.81 × 10-3.
