The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the percentage of the reactant that changes into the product in a zero-order reaction given the rate constant (k) and the initial concentration of the reactant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Zero-Order Reaction**: In a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is constant and does not depend on the concentration of the reactant. The rate law for a zero-order reaction can be expressed as: \[ \text{Rate} = k \] where \( k \) is the rate constant. 2. **Given Data**: - Rate constant \( k = 2 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{mol} \, \text{L}^{-1} \, \text{s}^{-1} \) - Initial concentration of the reactant \( [A]_0 = 5 \, \text{mol} \, \text{L}^{-1} \) 3. **Calculating the Time for Complete Reaction**: For a zero-order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases linearly over time. The integrated rate law for a zero-order reaction is given by: \[ [A] = [A]_0 - kt \] To find the time required for the reactant to completely convert to product, we set \( [A] = 0 \): \[ 0 = 5 - (2 \times 10^{-2})t \] Rearranging gives: \[ (2 \times 10^{-2})t = 5 \] \[ t = \frac{5}{2 \times 10^{-2}} = 250 \, \text{s} \] 4. **Percentage of Reactant Converted**: Since the reaction is zero-order, the entire concentration of the reactant will convert to product over the time calculated. Therefore, the percentage of the reactant that changes to product is: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Amount converted}}{\text{Initial amount}} \right) \times 100 \] Here, the amount converted is equal to the initial amount: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{5}{5} \right) \times 100 = 100\% \] ### Final Answer: The percentage of the reactant that changes to the product is **100%**.
