Question
A kinetic experiment is carried out in a flow tube where the flow rate is 25 m s¯¹. The detector is a
spectrophotometer, and absorbances are measured at various distances along the tube. The
reactant has a molar absorption coefficient of 1180 mol-¹dm³ cm¹ at 420 nm. The absorbances are
measured using a 1 cm optical cell. Use this information, and that in the following table, to calculate
[reactant] as a function of time.
Then plot a graph of [reactant] versus time and comment on its shape.
May plot using excel.
