the reaction a → b+c proceeds with first order kinetics. a chemist sets up the reaction with 10 g of A. After 80 seconds, 70% of the sample has reacted away. what is the value of the rate constant?
Added by Jason P.
Step 1
Given that 70% of the sample has reacted away, 30% of the sample remains. 30% of 10 g = 0.3 * 10 g = 3 g Show more…

What is the approximate rate of reaction at $t=75 \mathrm{s}$ for the (a) zero-order, (b) first-order, (c) second-order reaction?
For the reaction $A \longrightarrow B+C,$ the following data were obtained at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ : (a) What is the order of the reaction with respect to $[A]$, and what is the rate law? (b) What is the rate constant?
Rate Laws from Experimental Data: Initial Rates Method. The reaction $$2 \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NOCl}(g)$$ was studied at $-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The following results were obtained where $$\text { Rate }=-\frac{\Delta\left[\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]}{\Delta t}$$ $$ \begin{array}{ccc} {[\mathrm{NO}]_{0}} & {\left[\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]_{0}} & \text { Initial Rate } \\ (\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}) & (\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}) & (\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{min}) \\ 0.10 & 0.10 & 0.18 \\ 0.10 & 0.20 & 0.36 \\ 0.20 & 0.20 & 1.45 \end{array} $$ a. What is the rate law? b. What is the value of the rate constant?
