COMEDK2024ChemistryChemical Kinetics
A substance X decomposes in solution following the first order kinetics. Flask I contains 1 L of 1 M solution of X and flask II contain 100 mL of 0.6 M solution. After 8 hours, the concentration, of X in flask I becomes 0.25 M . The time required for concentration to become 0.3 M in flask II is .........
Options
- A6 hrs
- B5 hrs
- C4 hrs
- D2 hrs
Correct answer
C. 4 hrs
Step-by-step solution
Flask I t_ 1 / 2 =4 hrs . Flask II A first order reaction is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. Hence, the time required is 4 hours.
