Concept Introduction:
(c)
Answer to Problem 55E
The concentration of [A] is 1.27×10-5 M and the concentration of [B] is 1.00 M.
Explanation of Solution
The expression of integrated second order rate law in which x is the fraction of A left after the time 10 min. this fraction will be less than 0.5 because the half-life was about 1.45 min.
The fraction of A is left which is shown below:
So, the amount of A left is as follows:
According to the reaction, the change of A is triple times of the change of B.
