Answer to Question #87923 in Chemistry for sirina

Question

Salbutamol is a drug used to treat asthma as well as other related conditions. The kinetics of the metabolism of the drug were followed by determining the concentration of the remaining non-metabolised salbutamol at different times as tabulated in Table 1 below.

Table 1. Concentrations of non-metabolised salbutamol as a function of time.
Time / h 0.0 0.5 1.0 5.0 7.0 10.0 12.0
[Salbutamol] / mM 3.20 2.85 2.54 1.01 0.64 0.32 0.20


a) Determine the order of the reaction using appropriate plots and discussion (40%)

b) Calculate the rate constant showing all your workings (20%)
