Question

1.) For the reaction:  X + Y  -->  Z, the reaction rate is found to depend only upon the concentration of X.  A plot of 1/X verses time gives a straight line with the equation y=3.35x10-2 X + 0.200

Which of the following is correct.

 


 

Select one:
a. The reaction is first order for both X and Y and k=-3.35x10-2 M-1s-1
b. The reaction is zero order for both X and Y and k=3.35x10-2 M-1s-1
c. The reaction is second order for X and zero order for Y and k=3.35x10-2 M-1s-1
d. The reaction is first order for X and zero order for Y and k=-3.35x10-2 M-1s-1
e. The reaction is second order for both X and Y and k=3.35x10-2 M-1s-1
 
2.) Using the information in the question above, if X and Y both have initial concentrations of 0.10M, what will the concentration of X be after 75 seconds?
