The rate constant for the reaction A → B is 0.02 s^(-1). If [A] = 0.2 M, what is the initial rate?
Q1. The rate constant for the reaction A → B is 0.02 s^(-1). If [A] = 0.2 M, what is the initial rate?
Answer: 0.004 M/s
Explanation: Initial rate = k[A] = 0.02 × 0.2 = 0.004 M/s for a first-order reaction.
