WHAT IS THE ANSWER FOR THESE TWO QUESTIONS ?

TIME SENSITIVE

Learning Goal:

To understand how to use integrated rate laws to solve for concentration.

A car starts at mile marker 145 on a highway and drives at 55 mi/hr in the direction of decreasing marker numbers. What mile marker will the car reach after 2 hours?

This problem can easily be solved by calculating how far the car travels and subtracting that distance from the starting marker of 145.

55 mi/hr

Explanation / Answer

from the units of rate constant it is a first order rate of reaction

K1 = 2.303/t log(initial/final)
5.2*10^-3 = 2.303/(6*60) log(0.1/final)
final = 0.01538 M or 1.54*10^-2 M
...................................................

K = [initial - final]/t

2.8*10^-4 = initial - 9*10^-2/80
initial = 11.24*10^-2 M or 11.2*10^-2 M or 0.112 M
