Answer to Question #181606 in General Chemistry for Jada Scott

Question

For the reaction 5A + 2G → 5D + 3E, the following initial rates of reaction were found.

[A]o/M [G]o/M Initial Rate of Reaction / (M/s)

0.446 0.708 3.53×10-2

0.149 0.708 3.53×10-2

0.446 0.354 8.82×10-3

(a) Determine the rate constant for this reaction and select the appropriate units from the drop-down menu.

(b) Determine the rate of reaction (in M/s) when [A] = 0.884 M and [G] = 0.669 M.

Answer 1

$0.446 0.354 8.82×10^{-3}$

Rate of reaction $= 0.884×0.669=0.591$
