Question
2·The rearrangement of Cyclopropane to Propene is a first order reaction with a rate constant of 6.7 x 10*s1. If the initial concentration of Cyclopropane is 0.050M a. b. c. d. e. What is the molarity of Cyclohexane after 30 minutes? How many minutes does it take for the Cyclohexane concentration to drop to 0.010M? How many minutes does it take for 65% of Cyclohexane to react? What is the half-life (in minutes)? How many minutes will it take for the concentration of Cyclohexane to drop to 12.5% of its initial value? What is the concentration?Explanation / Answer
for 1st order reaction , -dCA/dt= KCA, where CA= concentration of propane in the present case and K is rate constant and -dCA/dt =rate of reaggangement,
When the equation is intergrated noting that at t=0, CA= CAO and t= t, CA= CA
the equation becomes lnCA= lnCAO-Kt (1)
1. given K= 6.7*10-4/s, CAO= 0.05M ( initial concentration) t= 30 min= 30*60 seconds = 1800 seconds
hence from eq.1 , lnCA= ln(0.05) -6.7*10-4* 1800 , CA= 0.015M
2. gvien CA=0.01M and CAO=0.05M, from eq.1, ln(0.01)= ln(0.05)- 6.7*10-4*t
t= 2402 seconds= 2402/60 min=40 min
3. Conversion XA= 1-CA/CAO
hence from Eq,1, ln(CA/CAO)= -Kt or- ln (1-XA)= -Kt
t= -ln(1-XA)/K, given XA=0.65, t= -ln(1-0.65)/ (6.7*10-4)= 1567 seconds
4. half life is the time required for the concentration to drop to 50% of its initial value, CA= CAO/2 at half life
hence from Eq.1, ln(CAO/2) =lnCAO-K* half life
half life =0.693/K= 0.693/6.7*10-4 =1034 seconds
5. given CA= 0.125CAO
from Eq.1, ln (0.125CAO)= lnCAO-6.7*10-4t
t= 3104 seconds , CA= 0.125*0.05=0.00625M
