A flask is filled with equal moles of AA and BB. The half lives of AA and BB are 100s100s and 50s50s respectively and are independent of the initial concentration. The time required for the concentration of AA to be four times that of BB is____ss.
(Given : ln⁡2=0.693\ln 2 = 0 . 693)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

For first order reaction

k=0.693t12k = \dfrac{0 . 693}{{t}_{\dfrac{1}{2}}}

\left[A\right] = 4\left[B\right]</p><p></p><p>{\left[A\right]}_{0}{e}^{- {k}_{A}t} = 4{\left[B\right]}_{0}{e}^{- {k}_{B}t}</p><p></p><p>∵asas{\left[A\right]}_{0} = {\left[B\right]}_{0}; {e}^{- {k}_{A}t} = 4{e}^{- {k}_{B}t}</p><p></p><p>- {k}_{A}t = \ln 4 - {k}_{B}t</p><p></p><p>∴ t\left({k}_{B} - {k}_{A}\right) = 2\ln 2</p><p></p><p>t = \dfrac{2 \times 0 . 693}{\left(\dfrac{0 . 693}{50} - \dfrac{0 . 693}{100}\right)} = \dfrac{2 \times 100}{2 - 1} = 200sec$
