The rate constant for a reaction is 0.02 s-1. If the initial concentration is 1 M, what is [A] after 50 s?
Q1. The rate constant for a reaction is 0.02 s-1. If the initial concentration is 1 M, what is [A] after 50 s?
Answer: 0.37 M
Explanation: For a first-order reaction, [A] = [A]0 * e^(-kt) = 1 * e^(-0.02*50) = e^(-1) = 0.37 M.
