The inactivation rate of a viral preparation is proportional to the amount of virus. In the first minute after preparation, 1010 % of the virus is inactivated. The rate constant for viral inactivation is ___ \times {10}^{- 3}\min^{- 1} . (Nearest integer) [Use : ln⁡10=2.303;log⁡103=0.477\ln 10 = 2 . 303; \log_{10}3 = 0 . 477 property of logarithm\left: log{x}^{y} = ylogx\right]

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

As the unit of rate constant is min⁡−1\min^{- 1} so it must be a first order reaction
k×t=2.303logA0/Atk \times t = 2 . 303{logA}_{0} / {A}_{t}
in 11 min 1010 % is inactivated so taking
A0=100At=90{A}_{0} = 100{A}_{t} = 90 in 1min1min
So k×1=2.303×log10090k \times 1 = 2 . 303 \times log\dfrac{100}{90}

=2.303×(log⁡10−2log⁡3)= 2 . 303 \times ( \log 10 - 2\log 3 )
=2.303×(1−2×0.477)= 2 . 303 \times ( 1 - 2 \times 0 . 477 )
=0.10593= 0 . 10593

=105.93×10−3= 105 . 93 \times {10}^{- 3}
Answer is 106106
