Chapter 11, Problem 47E

The reaction

$\text{A}\to \text{B + C}$

is known to be zero order in A and to have a rate constant of 5.0 × 10⁻² mol/L · s at 25°C. An experiment was run at 25°C where [A]₀ = 1.0 × 10⁻³ M.

a. Write the integrated rate law for this reaction.

b. Calculate the half-life for the reaction.

c. Calculate the concentration of B after 5.0 × 10⁻³ s has elapsed assuming [B]₀ = 0.
