At 345K345K, the half life for the decomposition of a sample of a gaseous compound initially at 55.5kPa55 . 5kPa was 340s340s. When the pressure was 27.8kPa27 . 8kPa, the half life was found to be 170s170s. The order of the reaction is - [integer answer]

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

(t1/2)1(t1/2)2=(P1P2)1−n\dfrac{{\left({t}_{1/2}\right)}_{1}}{{\left({t}_{1/2}\right)}_{2}} = {\left(\dfrac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}\right)}^{1 - n}

⇒340170=(55.527.8)1−n⇒ \dfrac{340}{170} = {\left(\dfrac{55 . 5}{27 . 8}\right)}^{1 - n}

(2)1=(2)1−n{\left(2\right)}^{1} = {\left(2\right)}^{1 - n}

1=1−n⇒n=01 = 1 - n ⇒ n = 0

For zero order reaction half life is directly proportional to the initial concentration.
