The hydrolysis of sucrose (C12H22O11) into glucose and fructose in acidic water has a rate constant of 1.8×10−4s−1 at 25 ∘C. Assuming the reaction is first order in sucrose, determine the mass of sucrose that is hydrolyzed when 2.55 L of a 0.160 M sucrose solution is allowed to react for 200 minutes.

Answer:

Mass of sucrose that is hydrolyzed = 123.55 g

Explanation:

Since the reaction is a first ofree reaction,

Let the initial concentration of sucrose be C₀

And the concentration of sucrose left at any time be C.

r = (dC/dt) = -kC (Minus sign because it's a rate of reduction)

K = rate constant

(dC/dt) = - kC

(dC/C) = -kdt

 ∫ (dC/C) = -k ∫ dt 

Solving the two sides as definite integrals by integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the Right hand side from 0 to t.

We obtain

In (C/C₀) = -kt

(C/C₀) = (e⁻ᵏᵗ)

C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

So, we can find the concentration of sucrose left at the given time

k = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹

t = 200 minutes = 200 × 60 = 12000 s

kt = 12000 × 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ = 2.16

C₀ = 0.160 M

C = 0.160 e⁻²•¹⁶ = 0.01845 M

So, the concentration that has been used up = 0.160 - 0.01845 = 0.142 M

To calculate the mass of sucrose that has reacted, we'll convert the concentration used up into number of moles.

Concentration = (number of moles)/(volume in Litres)

number of moles = concentration × volume in Litres

Volume in Litres = 2.55L

Number of moles = 0.142 × 2.55 = 0.361 moles

Then, mass = number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Mass of sucrose used up = 0.361 × 342.3 = 123.55 g

The mass of sucrose is  16 g.

Using the equation;

ln[A] = ln[Ao] - kt

were;

[A] = concentration at time t

[Ao] = initial concentration

k = rate constant

t = time taken

Substituting values;

ln[A]  = ln(0.160 M) - [ 1.8×10−4s−1 × 200 × 60]

[A] = e^ln(0.160 M) - [ 1.8×10−4s−1 × 200 × 60]

[A] = e^-1.83 - 2.16

[A] = e^-3.99

[A] = 0.0185 M

Now;

number of moles = concentration × volume

mass/342 g/mol = 0.0185 M  × 2.55 L

Mass = 0.0185 M  × 2.55 L  × 342 g/mol

Mass = 16 g
