The concentration of A at 10 minutes is (nearest integer). The reaction was started with of A .View written solutionFree
Correct answer: INSUFFICIENT DATA
The question appears to be incomplete as written. For a kinetics problem asking the concentration of at minutes, we need some additional information such as:
- order of reaction, and/or
- rate constant / half-life / decay law / graph data.
At present, only this is given:
- Initial concentration:
- Time: min
- Need in the form
But from kinetics, concentration at time depends on the rate law:
- Zero order:
- First order:
- Second order:
Without or equivalent data, the concentration cannot be uniquely determined.
Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is 2435, which would imply This corresponds to only a very small decrease from the initial concentration , but there is no way to derive this uniquely from the provided statement alone.
So, based on the information visible in the question, I do not agree with the stored answer because the question data is insufficient.
If some missing data (for example half-life, first-order rate constant, or decay percentage) was omitted, then the answer might possibly become .
