Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the rate equation for a first-order reaction?

  • Rate = k[A]
  • Rate = k[A]^2
  • Rate = k[A][B]

💡 Hint: Consider the power of the concentration in the rate law.

Question 2

The half-life for a first-order reaction depends on the initial concentration.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the properties of half-lives for different reaction orders.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A reaction has a rate constant of 0.03 s⁻¹. If 1 mole of the substance is present at t=0, how long will it take for 90% of it to decay? What will be the concentration at that time?

💡 Hint: Use the integrated first-order rate law.

Question 2

A pharmacologist discovers a drug with a half-life of 3 hours. If a patient receives an initial dose of 120 mg, how much will remain after 9 hours?

💡 Hint: Apply the concept of halving the amount every half-life.
