Answer:   3.87M  of HI remains after 27.3 s

Explanation:

Using the Second order decomposition equation of

1/[H]t =K x t +1/[A]o

Given initial concentration ,[A]o = 4.78M

time, t = 27.3 s

rate of constant , k= 1.80 x 10^-3 M-1s-1

1/[H] t= 1/[A] t= concentration after time, t=?

SOLUTION

1/[A] t =kt +1/[A]o

1/[A] t =(1.80 x 10^-3 (27.3)+1/4.78

0.04914+0.2092=0.2583

1/[A] t =0.2583

[A] t =1/0.2583= 3.87M
