A and B decompose via first order kinetics with half-lives 54 ....

AA and BB decompose via first order kinetics with half-lives 54.0min54 . 0min and 18.0min18 . 0min respectively. Starting from an equimolar non-reactive mixture of AA and BB, the time taken for the concentration of AA to become 1616 times that of BB is ______ minmin. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given A=t1/2=54minA = {t}_{1/2} = 54min

B=t1/2=18minB = {t}_{1/2} = 18min

t=0t = 0 'xx' Mt=0M t = 0 'xx' MM

⇒⇒ To calculate : \left[{A}_{t}\right] = 16 \times \left[{B}_{t}\right] time =?</p><p>= ?</p><p>⇒ForForIorderkinetic:[At]=A0(2)norder kinetic : \left[{A}_{t}\right] = \dfrac{{A}_{0}}{{\left(2\right)}^{n}}

n→n \to no. of Half lives

⇒⇒ Now from the relation (1)( 1 )

⇒x(2)n1=x(2)n2×16⇒(2)n2=(2)n1×(2)4⇒ \dfrac{x}{{\left(2\right)}^{{n}_{1}}} = \dfrac{x}{{\left(2\right)}^{{n}_{2}}} \times 16 ⇒ {\left(2\right)}^{{n}_{2}} = {\left(2\right)}^{{n}_{1}} \times {\left(2\right)}^{4}

⇒n2=n1+4⇒t(t1/2)2=t(t1/2)1+4⇒ {n}_{2} = {n}_{1} + 4 ⇒ \dfrac{t}{{\left({t}_{1/2}\right)}_{2}} = \dfrac{t}{{\left({t}_{1/2}\right)}_{1}} + 4

⇒t(118−154)=4⇒t=4×18×5436⇒ t\left(\dfrac{1}{18} - \dfrac{1}{54}\right) = 4 ⇒ t = \dfrac{4 \times 18 \times 54}{36}

⇒t=108min⇒ t = 108min
