Answer to Question #243641 in Organic Chemistry for yup

Question

A student is measuring the average initial rate over the first 10 seconds of the reaction. They collect the following data:

t = 0 s   [A] = 0.131 mol L^-1

t = 10 s  [A] = 0.097 mol L^-1

What is the initial rate for this reaction? (Do not include units in your answer).

Answer 1

0.131-0.097= 0.034

0.034/10 = 0.0034

= 3.4×10^-3
