Answer:

D) 4.8 × 10² M/s

Explanation:

Let's consider the following generic reaction.

A → B

The rate law is:

v = k . [A]ⁿ

where,

v: velocity

k: rate constant

[A]: concentration of the reactant A

n: reaction order for A

What is the velocity of a first-order reaction when the reactant concentration is 6 × 10⁻²M and the rate constant is 8 × 10³s⁻¹?

v = k . [A]¹ = 8 x 10³s⁻¹ . 6 x 10⁻²M = 4.8 × 10² M/s
