Concentration Changes Over Time

AP Chemistry· difficulty 3/5

For a second-order reaction with k = 0.50 M⁻¹s⁻¹, [A]₀ = 1.0 M.

k = 0.50 M⁻¹s⁻¹ [A]₀ = 1.0 M t₁/₂ = 1/(k[A]₀)

What is the first half-life?

  • A

    0.50 s

  • B

    1.39 s

  • C

    5.0 s

  • D

    2.0 s

Explanation

Second order: t₁/₂ = 1/(k[A]₀) = 1/(0.50·1.0) = 2.0 s.
