PCl _ 5 (g) → PCl _ 3 (g) + Cl _ 2 (g) In the above first order...

PCl5(g)→PCl3(g)+Cl2(g){PCl}_{5}\left(g\right) \to {PCl}_{3}\left(g\right) + {Cl}_{2}\left(g\right)

In the above first order reaction the concentration of PCl5{PCl}_{5} reduces from initial concentration 50molL−150mol{L}^{- 1} to 10molL−110mol{L}^{- 1} in 120120 minutes at 300K.300K . The rate constant for the reaction at 300K300K is x×10−2min⁡−1.x \times {10}^{- 2}\min^{- 1} . The value of xx is __________.

[Given log⁡5=0.6989\log 5 = 0 . 6989]

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

PCl5(g)Iorder300KPCl3(g)+Cl2(g){PCl}_{5\left(g\right)}\dfrac{I\text{order}}{300K}{PCl}_{3\left(g\right)} + {Cl}_{2\left(g\right)}

t=0,[PCl5]=50Mt=120min,[PCl5]=10Mt = 0, [ {PCl}_{5} ] = 50Mt = 120min, [ {PCl}_{5} ] = 10M

t=120min10Mt = 120min10M

⇒K=2.303tlog[A0][At]⇒ K = \dfrac{2 . 303}{t}log\dfrac{\left[{A}_{0}\right]}{\left[{A}_{t}\right]}

⇒K=2.303120log5010⇒ K = \dfrac{2 . 303}{120}log\dfrac{50}{10}

⇒K=2.303120×0.6989=0.013413min⁡−1⇒ K = \dfrac{2 . 303}{120} \times 0 . 6989 = 0 . 013413\min^{- 1}

=1.3413×10−2min⁡−1= 1 . 3413 \times {10}^{- 2}\min^{- 1}

1.34⇒1 . 34 ⇒ Nearest integer =1= 1
