Question

Consider this reaction:

→NH4OHaq+NH3aqH2Oaq

At a certain temperature it obeys this rate law.rate

=·26.0M−1s−1NH4OH2

Suppose a vessel contains NH4OH at a concentration of 1.28M. Calculate the concentration of NH4OH in the vessel 0.270 seconds later. You may assume no other reaction is important.Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

=___M

Expert Solution
Step 1 Analysis

Given: Decomposition of ammonium hydroxide which is a second order Reaction.

Rate constant= 26.0 M-1s-1

Concentration of NH4OH= 1.28 M 

To find:Concentration of NH4OH left ater 0.270 seconds. 

Solution: Chemical kinetics is one of the most important branch of Physical chemistry. 

Chemical kinetics deals with the study of the rate of reaction. But only the rated of moderate reactions can be determined. 

It is a second order Reaction as seen from the rate law or the units of rate constant.

For second order Reaction we can use the formula as shown below: 

K=1/t [(1/at)-(1/a0)]

Where K is rate constant 

t is time 

at is final concentration

a0 is initial concentration.
