Suppose that for the reaction K+L⟶M, you monitor the production of M over time, and then plot the following graph from your data: b. Is the reaction completed at 𝑡=15 min?

Hello everyone today. We have the following problem. Consider the hypothetical reaction X plus Y equals E. The formation of Z as the reaction progresses was recorded. The fallen grass shows the formation of Z over time, and so we have the concentration over time. At what time does the reaction reach completion? So we know that the concentration of Z does not change At T equals 30 minutes, essentially. All of the reactions have been used up and the maximum has been produced. So the reaction reaches completion At T equals 30 minutes, because once again all of the reactions have been used up and we see this plateau overall. I hope this helped, and until next time.
