Explanation / Answer

8. For the given reaction data

initial reaction rate will be calculated between 0 to 4 min

so,

between 2 and 4 min

with [A] being amount of substrate remaining

[A] at t = 2 min = 100 - 5 = 95 mmol

[A] at t = 4 min = 100 - 10 = 90 mmol

we get,

initial reaction rate = -change in concentration/time

                              = -(90 - 95)/(4 - 2)

                              = 2.5 mmol/min
