What is the rate constant for undergraduate students

Reference no: EM13319306

A reaction of great significant for undergraduate students is the fermentation of sugar with yeast. This is a zero order (in sugar) reaction, where the yeast is a catalyst (it does not enter into the reaction itself). If a 0.5 liter bottle contains 3 grams of sugar, and it takes 20 minutes to convert 40% of the sugar what is the rate constant?
