Question

1.) A flask is charged with 0.100 mol of A and allowed to react to form B according to the hypothetical gas-phase reaction A(g) ---------> B(g). The following data are collected: Time in seconds ---- Moles of A 0 ---------------------- 0.100 40 ---------------------- 0.067 80 ---------------------- 0.045 120 --------------------- 0.030 160 --------------------- 0.020 a.) Calculate the number of moles of B at each time in the table. b.) Calculate the average rate of disappearance of A for each 40-s interval, in units of mol/s. c.)what additional information would be needed to calculate the rate in units of concentration per time?
