RK Exercise 1
Reactant A has an initial concentration A(0)
= 96 M, where M = E-5 moles/liter. Let A->B be a unimolecular reaction
with concentration function A(t) for reactant A, concentration function
B(t) for product B, and with rate constant k = .15.
(a) Compute velocity and acceleration functions
for the given concentration functions below.
(b) How long after the reaction begins does
it take the concentration of reactant A to reach 25 M?
(c) What is the loss rate of reactant A when its
concentration is 25 M?
(d) When is the concentration of product B equal
to 2/3 the concentration of reactant A?
(e) Label the concentration vs time plot below with the information found in (b), (c), and (d).
