The reaction 2a → a2 was experimentally determined to be second order with a rate constant, k, equal to 0.0265 m–1min–1. if the initial concentration of a was 4.00 m, what was the concentration of a (in m) after 180.0 min?

0.2 M

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

t= time taken for the reaction = 180 min

k = rate constant =

= initial concentration = 4 M

a= concentration left after time t = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Thus the concentration of A after 180.0 min is 0.2M

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
