Q3.24:
Consider a certain reaction \(A \rightarrow Products\) with \(k = 2.0 \times 10^{-2}s^{-1}\). Calculate the concentration of \(A\) remaining after 100 s if the initial concentration of \(A\) is \(1.0 mol L^{-1}\).
Solution :
Step 1: Identification of Reaction Order
The unit of the rate constant $k$ is $s^{-1}$. According to the units of rate constants for different reaction orders, a unit of $time^{-1}$ is characteristic of a first-order reaction [Per the Integrated Rate Law derivation for first-order kinetics].
Step 2: Defining Given Variables
- Initial concentration of reactant $A$, $[A]_0 = 1.0 \, mol \, L^{-1}$
- Rate constant, $k = 2.0 \times 10^{-2} \, s^{-1}$
- Time elapsed, $t = 100 \, s$
- Final concentration, $[A]_t = ?$
Step 3: Applying the First-Order Integrated Rate Equation
The relationship between the initial concentration, final concentration, rate constant, and time for a first-order reaction is defined by the following equation [By First-Order Integrated Rate Law]:
$\ln[A]_t = -kt + \ln[A]_0$
Alternatively, expressed in logarithmic form:
$[A]_t = [A]_0 \cdot e^{-kt}$
Step 4: Algebraic Substitution and Computation
Substitute the known values into the exponential form:
$[A]_t = 1.0 \cdot e^{-(2.0 \times 10^{-2} \, s^{-1} \times 100 \, s)}$
$[A]_t = 1.0 \cdot e^{-(2.0)}$
$[A]_t = 1.0 \cdot e^{-2}$
Given that $e \approx 2.718$, $e^{-2} \approx 0.1353$.
$[A]_t = 1.0 \times 0.1353 \, mol \, L^{-1}$
$[A]_t = 0.1353 \, mol \, L^{-1}$
Visual Representation of Concentration Decay
Final Solution: The concentration of A remaining after 100 seconds is $0.1353 \, mol \, L^{-1}$.
