Full Question:

The hydrolysis of sucrose C12H22O11 into glucose and fructose in acidic water has a rate constant of 1.8 x 10^-4 s^-2 at 25 C.

Assuming the reaction is first order in sucrose, determine the mass of sucrose that is hydrolyzed when 2.50 L of a 0.130 M sucrose solution is allowed to react for 190 minutes.

Answer:

96.96g

Explanation:

t = 190 x 60 = 11400 s (upon conversion to seconds)

k = 1.8 x 10^-4 s^-2

ln[A] −ln[A]o = −kt

ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]o

ln[A] = - ( 1.8 x 10^-4  * 11400) + ln (0.130)

ln[A] = - 2.052 - 2.04

[A] = 0.0167M

initial moles = 2.50 x 0.130 = 0.325

moles after 190 min = 0.0167 x 2.50 = 0.04175

moles hydrolyzed = 0.325 - 0.04175 = 0.28325

mass = 0.28325 x 342.30 g/mol = 96.96g

The mass of sucrose is 96.96g.

Given:

The reaction is first order.

Time, t= 190min

Unit conversion:

t = 190 * 60 = 11400 s   (since, 1 min=60 secs)

The value of rate constant, [tex]k = 1.8 * 10^-4 s^{-2}[/tex]

To find:

Mass=?

A first-order reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which the reaction rate is linearly dependent on the concentration of only one reactant.

From equation of first order kinetics:

[tex]ln[A] - ln[A]_0 = - kt\\\\ln[A] = - kt + ln[A]_0\\\\ln[A] = - ( 1.8 * 10^{-4} * 11400) + ln (0.130)\\\\ln[A] = - 2.052 - 2.04\\\\\text{[A]} = 0.0167M\\[/tex]

  • Initial moles = 2.50 x 0.130 = 0.325
  • Moles after 190 min = 0.0167 x 2.50 = 0.04175
  • Moles hydrolyzed = 0.325 - 0.04175 = 0.28325

[tex]\text{Mass} = 0.28325 * 342.30 g/mol \\\\\text{Mass}= 96.96g[/tex]

Thus, the mass of sucrose that is hydrolyzed will be 96.9grams.
