c) 180 min
d) 440 min
e) 5.0×10^2 min

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The rate constant for the reaction 3A equals 4B is 6.00 × 10⁻³ L.mol⁻¹min⁻¹.

how long will it take the concentration of A to drop from 0.75 to 0.25M ?

from the unit of the rate constant we know it is a second reaction order

OPTIONS

a) 2.2×10^−3 min

b) 5.5×10^−3 min

c) 180 min

d) 440 min

e) 5.0×10^2 min

it will take 440 min for the concentration of A to drop from 0.75 to 0.25M

Option d) 440 min is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

Rate constant K =  6.00 × 10⁻³ L.mol⁻¹min⁻¹

3A → 4B

given that it is a second reaction order;

k = 1/t [ 1/A - 1/A₀]

kt = [ 1/A - 1/A₀]

t = [ 1/A - 1/A₀] / k

K is the rate constant(6.00 × 10⁻³)

A₀ is initial concentration( 0.75 )

A is final concentration(0.25)

t is time required = ?

so we substitute our values into the equation

t = [ (1/0.25) - (1/0.75)] / (6.00 × 10⁻³)

t = 2.6666 / (6.00 × 10⁻³)

t = 444.34 ≈ 440 min     {significant figures}

Therefore it will take 440 min for the concentration of A to drop from 0.75 to 0.25M

Option d) 440 min is the correct answer

the potential energy of the reactants is 200j.

from the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350j; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.
