A+2B------3C

is found to be first order with respect to B. The reaction is run with an initial concentration of B equal to 2.90*10^{-1} M2.90∗10−1M, the concentration of B is measured again 20 seconds later and found to be 5.64 * 10^{-3} M.5.64∗10−3M. What is the rate constant for this reaction?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that:

Initial concentration of B [B0] = 2.90×10-1 M

Final concentration of B [B] = 5.64×10-3 M

Time (t) = 20 seconds

Rate constant (k) = ?
