The conversion A → B takes place in the liquid phase. After 12 minutes from the start of the reaction, the concentration of substance A CA = 0.36 mol dm³ was detected in the reaction mixture, after 31 minutes from the start of the reaction, the concentration of substance A decreased to 0.19 mol dm³. At time 2720 s from the beginning, the concentration of starting substance A in the reaction mixture had a value of 0.14 mol dm-3. The initial concentration of substance A was 0.83 mol dm³. Based on these data, decide if the reaction is first or second order and calculate the rate constant.

THE ACTIVATION ENERGY OF THE REACTION BETWEEN PERSULFATE AND IODIDE IONS, During the reaction of the persulfate ion with the iodide ion, iodine is produced. The molar relationship between the persulfate ion and iodine is 1:1. Iodine turns the colour of starch indicator from colourless to blue. If we add starch indicator to the reagent solutions, we see a blue colour as soon as the reaction starts, and products are formed. If we want to measure a rate constant, we want to remove some of the iodine until, for example, one quarter of the persulfate has reacted. This we can achieve by adding a predetermined amount of thiosulfate to the reagent solutions, because thiosulfate reacts with iodine as follows to form iodide and tetrathionate: 2 S₂03² + 1₂ = 21 +S406 ² A certain amount, which we can calculate to be 1/4 of the initial persulfate concentration of the iodine is thus removed, and at the same time iodide is produced, so that the iodide ion concentration remains constant.…
