For another reaction B → product, only the 1/[B] vs t plot is linear with slope 0.50 M⁻¹·s⁻¹ and y-intercept 5.0 M⁻¹.
What is the initial concentration of B?
- Acheck_circle
0.20 M
- B
5.0 M
- C
2.0 M
- D
0.50 M
Explanation
For second-order: 1/[B] = kt + 1/[B]₀. y-intercept = 1/[B]₀ = 5.0 M⁻¹ ⇒ [B]₀ = 0.20 M.
