The rate constant for this reaction was found to be 0.00550 s-1. What is the instantaneous rate of reaction when the concentration of dinitrogen pentoxide is 0.100 M? Rate = k[N2O5].
What reaction are you talking about? If the coefficient for N2O5 is 1 then
rate = 0.00550(0.1)
To calculate the instantaneous rate of reaction, we need to use the rate equation and substitute the given concentration of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) into the equation.
The rate equation is given as: Rate = k[N2O5]
Here, k represents the rate constant for the reaction, and [N2O5] is the concentration of dinitrogen pentoxide.
In this case, the rate constant (k) is given as 0.00550 s^-1, and the concentration of dinitrogen pentoxide ([N2O5]) is given as 0.100 M.
To find the instantaneous rate, we substitute the given values into the rate equation:
Rate = k[N2O5]
Rate = (0.00550 s^-1) * (0.100 M)
Rate = 0.00055 M/s
Therefore, the instantaneous rate of reaction when the concentration of dinitrogen pentoxide is 0.100 M is 0.00055 M/s.
