Question:

The rate constant of a first-order reaction: A products, is 60 × 10–4 s–1. Its rate at [A] = 0.01 mol L–1 would be

Options:

60 × 10–6 mol L–1 min–1

36 × 10–4 mol L–1 min–1

60 × 10–2 mol L–1 min–1

36 × 10–1 mol L–1 min–1

Correct Answer:

60 × 10–6 mol L–1 min–1

Explanation:

Given,

Order of reaction \(= 1\)

\(A −−−−→ Products\)

\([A] = 0.01 \text{mol L}^{−1}, k = 60 × 10^{−4}\text{ min}^{−1}\)

Rate \(= k[A]^1\)

Rate \(= 60 × 10^{−4} × 0.01\)

or, \(Rate = 60 × 10^{−4} × 10^{−2}\)

or, \(Rate = 60 × 10^{−6} \text{mol L}^{−1}\text{min}^{−1}\)
