Question

For a RP reaction, the concentration of the reactant changes from 0.06 M to 0.02 M in 20 minutes. Calculate average rate of the reaction.

Open in App
Solution

The average rate is defined as the change in the concentration of reactants or products in a given amount of time interval.
For RP
Average Rate, ravg = Δ[R]Δt or Δ[P]Δtravg = {[R2][R1]}t2t1
On substituting the given parameters, we get
ravg = {0.020.06}200=0.002 M min1
Therefore, average rate of the reaction is 0.002 M min1
