Problem 100AE
Urea (NH2CONH2) is the end product in protein metabolism in animals. The decomposition of urea in 0.1 M HCI occurs according to the reaction
NH2CONH2(ag) + H+(aq) + 2 H2O(I)→2 NH4 +(aq) + HCO 3 - (aq)
The reaction is first order in urea and first order overall. When [NH2CONH2] = 0.200 M, the rate at 61.05 °C is 8.56 x 10-5 M/s. (a) What is the rate constant. K? (b) What is the concentration of urea in this solution after 4.00 x 103 s if the starting concentration is 0.500 M? (c) What is the halflife for this reaction at 61.05 °C ?
