question 20

Multiple Choice

The following initial rate data were found for the reaction
2MnO₄^- + 5H₂C₂O₄ + 6H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 10CO₂ + 8H₂O
-The reaction A → B + C is known to be zero order in A with a rate constant of 5.0 × 10^-2 mol/L • s at 25° C. An experiment was run at 25°C where [A]₀ = 1.0 × 10^-3 M. What is the integrated rate law?

• A) [A] = kt
• B) [A]₀ - [A] = kt
• D) [A] - [A]₀ = kt

Deadweight Loss

Deadweight loss occurs when an economy's total welfare is not maximized, resulting from inefficiencies such as taxes or subsidies that distort market equilibrium.

Pure-monopoly Market

A market structure where a single firm has the exclusive control over the supply of a product or service, with no close substitutes available, allowing for price setting.

X-inefficiency

The difference between actual and minimum possible input costs, often occurring due to a lack of competitive pressure and inefficiencies in production.

Minimum Possible Average Cost

The lowest average cost at which a firm can produce its output in the long run, given its technology and factor prices.
