Concentration Changes Over Time

AP Chemistry· difficulty 2/5

A zero-order plot of [A] vs t has slope = -0.020 M/s, with [A]0 = 1.00 M.

t (s) [A] slope = -k

What is t1/2 for this reaction?

  • A

    Independent of [A]0

  • B

    12.5 s

  • C

    50 s

  • D

    25 s

Explanation

For zero order: t1/2 = [A]0 / (2k) = 1.00 / (2 × 0.020) = 25 s.
