In a reaction, 2A → Products, the concentration of A decreases from 0.5 mol L−1 to 0.4 mol L−1 in 10 minutes. Calculate the rate during this interval?


Answer
Given that
Initial concentration, [A1] = 0.5 mol L−1
Final concentration, [A2] =0.4 mol L−1
Time taken ∆t = 10 min
(In NCERT answer is in minutes so no need to convert in sec )
Average rate

Solve it we get
= 0.005 mol L−1 min−1
= 5 × 10−3 M min−1

Do you know any other method of solving of problem ?

  1. DOUBT!!!!
    Could you please explain me how did this 1/2 got into the solution......

  2. Because in question 2A given, so from reaction rate definition 1/2 will apply

  3. for a reaction 2A->4B+C the concentration of B is increased by 5×10^-3 molL inverse .calculate the rate of disappearance of A

  4. Unit is wrong it's should be M/min.

  5. How can we write the rate equation with a '-' 1/2 ?? Where it comes from?
