Question

A flask is charged with 0.120 mol of A and allowed to react to form B according to the following hypothetical gas-phase reaction.

A(g)  B(g)

The following data are collected.

times             0       40        80        120       160

moles of A .120     0.072    0.046   0.028    0.015

(a) Calculate the number of moles of B at each time in the table.

0 s

40s

80s

120s

160s

(b) Calculate the average rate of disappearance of A for each 40 s interval, in units of mol/s.

0 - 40 s

40 - 80 s

80 - 120 s

120 - 160 mol/s

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The reaction taking place is given as,

=> A(g) -----------> B(g)

Given: Initial moles of A taken = 0.120 mol.

And the moles of A at any time t is given as,

times (s)

0

40

80

120

160

moles of A

0.120

0.072

0.046

0.028

0.015
