Question

In lab, we know that we can determine the concentration of a colored chemical species using absorption spectroscopy (Beer's Law).  To studyi the kinetics of the reaction when red dye is mixed with bleach, we make measurements using the spectrophotometer and record the data below.  Calculate the rate of the reaction 

red dye--> products 

over the first 2 minutes of the reaction.

Time (minutes)          Concentration of red dye [M]

0.0                                 0.0200

2.0                                 0.0135 

a. -6.50 x 10^-3 M/min

b. 3.25 x 10^-3 M/min

c. -308 min/M

d.. -325 x 10^-3 M/min

e. 308 min/M
