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

Answer»

Solution :The second order equation when both the REACTANTS have same CONCENTRATION is
`k=(1)/(t)[(1)/((a-x))-(1)/(a)]`
If `a=100`, `x=20`, `t=500sec`
`k=(1)/(500)xx(20)/(100xx(100-20))`
When `a=100`, `x=60`, `t=?`
`t=(1)/(k)[(1)/((100-60))-(1)/(100)]=(1)/(k)*(60)/(100xx40)`
Substituting the value of `k`
`t=(500xx100xx80)/(20)xx(60)/(100xx40)`
`=3000` seconds.
