The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 6.50×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.600 M, what will the concentration be after 3.00 minutes?

1.037M

Explanation:

Since the rate constant unit is per seconds, therefore it is a first order reaction.

First order reaction equation is given as

InA= -kt +InAo

Where,Ao is the initial concentration of reactant =0.600M

A is the concentration of reactant at a specifies time t=3×60=180s

and k is the rate constant

InA = -6.50×10^-3 ×180 +In(0.6)

InA = -1.17 + 0.5108

InA= -1.680

A = e-1.680

A= 1.037M

Therefore the concentration after 3minutes is 1.037M

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
