A second order reaction in which both the reactants have same concentration , is 20% completed in 500 seconds . How much time it will take for 60% completion ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The second order EQUATION when both the REACTANTS have same CONCENTRATION is
`k = 1/t .x/(a(a-x))`
If a = 100, x20 , t = 500 seconds
Then ` k =1/500xx(20)/(100xx(100-20))`
When `a = 100,x = 60, t = ? `
`t = 1/ k . (60)/(100xx40)`
Substituting the value of k ,
`t = (500xx100xx80)/(20)xx60/(100xx40)"or "t = 3000 ` seconds
