Answer:

Explanation:

We are given the following data;

Initial concentration = 0.600M

Final concentration = 0.150M

half=life = 726 seconds

So, let k be reaction constant,  

t

1

/

2

to be half-life,  

[

A

]

be the reactant concentration at time t and  

[

A

]

be the initial reaction concentration.

The second-order reaction will have a reaction constant k as follows;

k=  

1

(

t

/

2

×

[

A

]

)

=

1

(

726

×

0.600

)

=

0.002296

M

1

s

1

When  

[

A

]

= 0.150M

Then;  

1

[

A

]

=

1

[

A

]

=

k

t

=>  

1

0.150

=

1

0.600

+

0.002296

t

1

0.150

1

0.600

=

0.002296

t

t = 2178s
