75% complete if the reaction is zero order?
Transcribed Image Text:A reaction is 50% complete in 44.9 minutes. How long after the start of the reaction will it be 75% complete if the reaction is zero order?
Expert Solution
Step 1

For the zero order reaction rate = k that is rate constant. Zero order reaction is independent of the initial concentrations of reactants in the reaction.

The question says the reaction is 50% completed in 44.9 minutes that is the half life (t1/2) is 44.9 minutes.

Thus the more 25% reaction is completed in 22.45 minutes (44.9/2).
