Intergrated Zeroth Order Rate Law

Postby 705984992 » Sun Mar 17, 2024 10:06 pm

How would I solve for the concentration of A [A] in the equation [A]0-[A]t=kt under the conditions that I do not know the initial concentration of A but I only know the rate constant and the temperature?

Hi! You would need some sort of information regarding the [A]0 concentration to find [A]t so you can use the equation [A]0-[A]t=kt.

To determine [A]0, the initial concentration of a reactant, we need to know:
The final concentration, [A].
The length of time, t, the reaction ran to reach the final concentration.
The order of the reaction or enough information to determine it.
The rate constant, k, for the reaction or enough information to determine it.

On the other hand, to determine [A], the concentration of a reactant remaining after some time, t, we need to know:
The initial concentration, [A]0.
The length of time the reaction ran, t.
The order of the reaction or enough information to determine it.
The rate constant, k, for the reaction or enough information to determine it.
