Explanation / Answer

For a zero order reaction

CA= CAO- kt     (1)

Where CA= Concentration at time t, CAO= initial concentration   k= rate constant and t is the time

At 195 seconds , CA= 9*10-2

9*10-2 =CAO- k*195   (1)

At 300 seconds 3.5*10-2 = CAO- k*300    (2)

Eq.1- Eq.2 gives (9-3.5)*10-2 =t(300-195)

5.5*10-2 =k*105, k= 0.00052M/s

b)

From Eq.1

9*10-2= CAO- 0.00052*195

CAO= 9*10-2+0.00052*195 =0.1914M

c)

For a first order reaction , CA/CAO= e(-kt)  

Where CA= Concentration at time t, CAO= initial concentration   k= rate constant and t is the time

given CA=8.7/100 at t1= 45seconds and CA= 4.5*10-3 M after t2= 100 seconds

at t1 and t2 , 8.7*10-2 /CAO= e(-k*45)     (1)

4.5*10-3/CAO= e(-k*100)      (2)

Eq.2/ Eq.1 ,8.7*10-2/ 4.5*10-3 = ek*(100-45)

19,33 == e k*55

taking ln

ln (19.33)= 55k, k=0.053848 /s

d)

For a second order reaction 1/CA= 1/CAO+ kt (1)

Where CA= Concentration at time t, CAO= initial concentration   k= rate constant and t is the time

Given CA =0.15M after 185 seconds and 5.1*10-2M after 875 seconds

Writing Eq.1 twice for given data

1/0.15= 1/CAO+ k*185    (2)            6.7 =1/CAO+ k*185   (2A)

1/5.1*10-2= 1/CAO+ K*875 (3)     196.1= 1/CAO+ k*875 (3A)

Eq.3A- Eq.2 give 196.1-6.7= k*(875-185)

k=189.4/690=0.2744/M.s
