Decomposition of X exhibits a rate constant of 0 .05   μg / year . How many years are required for the decomposition of 5   μg of X into 2 .5   μg ?
Options
- A20
- B4 0
- C25
- D50
Correct answer
D. 50
Step-by-step solution
According to unit of rate constant, it is a zero order reaction. Then, half life of reaction will be: t 1 2 = C 0 2 k = 5 μ g 2 × 0.05 μ g / y e a r = 50  y e a r
