The rate of constant of the reaction A → B is  0.6 x 10-3 mole per second. If the concentration of A is 5 M then concentration of B after 20 min is 

  • 1.08 M

  • 3.60 M

  • 0.36 M

  • 0.72 M

Solution

D.

0.72 M

For a zero -order reaction unit of the rate constant is mole per second. Hence, we can easily calculate concentration of B after 20 min by the following formula,
x = Kt
x = Kt = 0.6 x 10-3 x 20 x 60 = 0.72 M
