Question- Part A
In the hydrogenation of ethylene using a nickel catalyst, the initial concentration of ethylene is 2.00mol?L?1 and its rate constant (k) is0.0020mol?L?1?s?1. Determine the rate of reaction if it follows a zero-order reaction mechanism.
Articulate your answer to two significant figures also includes the appropriate units.
Part B
The half-life of a reaction, t1/2, is the time required for one-half of a reactant to be consumed. It is the time during which the amount of reactant or its concentration decreases to one-half of its initial value.
Determine the half-life for the reaction in Part B using the integrated rate law, given that the initial concentration is 2.00mol?L?1 and the rate constant is 0.0020mol?L?1?s?1.
State your answer to three significant figures as well as comprise the appropriate units.
