Is the question asking for the mass of sucrose hydrolyzed when 2.55 L of a 0.150 M sucrose solution is allowed to react for 195 minutes, given that the hydrolysis of sucrose (C12H22O11) into glucose and fructose in acidic water has a rate constant of 1.8 * 10^-4 s^-1 at 25 °C and the reaction is first order in sucrose?

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the type of reaction: The problem states that the hydrolysis of sucrose is a first-order reaction. This means the rate of reaction depends linearly on the concentration of sucrose.
Use the first-order rate equation: The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is \( \ln \left( \frac{[A]_0}{[A]} \right) = kt \), where \([A]_0\) is the initial concentration, \([A]\) is the concentration at time \(t\), \(k\) is the rate constant, and \(t\) is the time.
Convert time to seconds: Since the rate constant \(k\) is given in \(s^{-1}\), convert the time from minutes to seconds by multiplying 195 minutes by 60 seconds per minute.
Calculate the remaining concentration of sucrose: Rearrange the first-order rate equation to solve for \([A]\), the concentration of sucrose at time \(t\).
Determine the mass of sucrose hydrolyzed: Calculate the initial moles of sucrose using the initial concentration and volume, then find the moles of sucrose remaining after the reaction. Subtract to find the moles hydrolyzed and convert to mass using the molar mass of sucrose.

Molarity and Volume Calculations

Molarity (M) is a measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. To find the number of moles of sucrose in a solution, you can multiply the molarity by the volume in liters. In this case, with a 0.150 M sucrose solution and a volume of 2.55 L, the total moles of sucrose can be calculated, which is essential for determining the mass hydrolyzed.

First-Order Reaction Kinetics

In a first-order reaction, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. The rate constant (k) is a crucial parameter that defines the speed of the reaction. For the hydrolysis of sucrose, the rate constant is given as 1.8 * 10^-4 s^-1, which can be used to calculate the change in concentration over time, allowing us to determine how much sucrose has reacted.

Time Conversion and Reaction Progress

To analyze the reaction over a specific time period, it is important to convert time into the appropriate units that match the rate constant. In this case, 195 minutes must be converted into seconds to align with the rate constant's units. Understanding how to relate time to concentration changes is vital for calculating the amount of sucrose hydrolyzed during the reaction.
