Consider the following initial rate data (at 273 K) for the decomposition of a substrate (substrate 1) which decomposes to product 1 and product 2: [Substrate 1] (M) Initial Rate (M/s) 0.4 0.183 0.8 0.183 2 0.183 Determine the half-life for the decomposition of substrate 1 when the initial concentration of the substrate is 2.77 M.

15.1 seconds is the half life of the reaction when concentration of the substrate is 2.77 M.

Explanation:

A → B + C

The rate law of the reaction will be :

Initial rate of the reaction when concentration of the substrate was 0.4 M:

..[1]

Initial rate of the reaction when concentration of the substrate was 0.8 M:

...[2]

[1] ÷ [2] :

x = 0

The order of the reaction is zero.

For the value of rate constant ,k:

..[1]

x = 0

k= 0.183 M/s

The half life of the zero order kinetics is given by :

Where:

= Initial concentration of A

k = Rate constant of the reaction

So, the half-life for the decomposition of substrate 1 when the initial concentration of the substrate is 2.77 M:

15.1 seconds is the half life of the reaction when concentration of the substrate is 2.77 M.

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
