Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.25CP
Consider the first-order decomposition of A molecules (red spheres) in three vessels of equal volume.
- (a) What are the relative rates of decomposition in vessels (1)–(3)?
- (b) What are the relative half-lives of the reactions in vessels (1)–(3)?
- (c) How will the rates and half-lives be affected if the volume of each vessel is decreased by a factor of 2?
