For the reaction $$A \rightarrow$$ products.
The concentration of A at 10 minutes is _______ $$\times 10^{-3}$$ mol L$$^{-1}$$. (nearest integer).
The reaction was started with 2.5 mol L$$^{-1}$$ of A.
Correct Answer: 2435
The graph of $$t_{1/2}$$ versus $$[A]_0$$ is a straight line passing through the origin.
$$t_{1/2}\propto [A]_0$$
This is characteristic of a zero-order reaction.
For a zero-order reaction,
$$t_{1/2}=\frac{[A]_0}{2k}$$
Comparing with the equation of a straight line,
$$\text{Slope}=\frac{1}{2k}$$
Given,
$$\text{Slope}=76.92$$
Therefore,
$$\frac{1}{2k}=76.92$$
$$2k=\frac{1}{76.92}$$
$$k=\frac{1}{2\times 76.92}=\frac{1}{153.84}=0.00650\ \text{mol L}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}$$
For a zero-order reaction,
$$[A]_t=[A]_0-kt$$
Given,
$$[A]_0=2.5\ \text{mol L}^{-1}$$
$$t=10\ \text{min}$$
Substituting,
$$[A]_{10}=2.5-(0.00650\times 10)$$
$$[A]_{10}=2.5-0.065$$
$$[A]_{10}=2.435\ \text{mol L}^{-1}$$
Expressing the concentration in the form $$x\times 10^{-3}\ \text{mol L}^{-1}$$,
$$2.435\ \text{mol L}^{-1}=2435\times 10^{-3}\ \text{mol L}^{-1}$$
Hence, the required value is
$$\boxed{2435}$$
