Concentration Changes Over Time

AP Chemistry· difficulty 3/5

1/[A] vs t is linear: at t = 0, 1/[A] = 1.0 M^-1; at t = 100 s, 1/[A] = 3.0 M^-1.

t (s) 1/[A]

What is k?

  • A

    0.020 s^-1

  • B

    1.0 M^-1

  • C

    0.020 M^-1 s^-1

    check_circle
  • D

    0.50 M·s

Explanation

For second order: slope = k = (3 - 1)/100 = 0.020 M^-1 s^-1.
