Half life of zero order reaction A product is 1 hour, when initial concentration of reaction is 2.0 ~mol ~L ~L ⁻¹ . The time required to decrease concentration of A from 0.50 to 0.25 ~mol ~L ⁻¹ is:
Options
- A0.5 hour
- B4 hour
- C15 min
- D60 min
Correct answer
C. 15 min
Step-by-step solution
For zero order reaction aligned & Half life = A_o 2 k & 60 = 2 2 k & k= 1 60 M / aligned Now aligned & A _ t = A _ o - kt & t = A _ o - A _ t k & = 0.5-0.25 1 / 60 & 0.25 60 aligned t =15 ~min
