Nyakocchi Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Hi! My AP Chem teacher assigned me a set of problems, and this problem in particular is giving me problems. I'm not asking anyone here to completely solve the problem, I know the rule about that. If at all possible, can someone tell me how to start it off? Thanks! Consider the reaction 3A + B + C ---> D + E Where the rate law is defined as An experiment is carried out where 0 = [C]0 = 1.00M and [A]0 = 1.00 X 10-4M. If after 3.00 min, [A] = 3.26 X 10-5M, calculate the value of k. Edited March 10, 2013 by Nyakocchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabcockHall Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 In general rate constants can be found in two ways: by calculating the initial rate or by studying the integrated rate equation. For a crude estimate of k, I would try the former approach, but it is going to be very rough. Too much of A has been consumed for this approach to be perfectly valid.
