The rate constant of the reaction A → B is 0.6×10⁻³ mole per second. If the concentration of A is…

The rate constant of the reaction $A \rightarrow B$ is $0.6\times10^{-3}$ mole per second. If the concentration of A is 5 M, then concentration of B after 20 minutes is:
A 0.36 M
B 0.72 M
C 1.08 M
D 3.60 M

Detailed Solution

The units of k (mol per second) show a zero order reaction: $x = kt$
$x = 0.6\times10^{-3}\times 20\times 60 = 0.72$ M
