For a first order reaction, A P , t _ 1 / 2 (half-life) is 10 days. The time required for 1 4 ^ th conversion of A (in days) is: ( 2=0.693, 3=1.1) .
Options
- A3.2
- B2.5
- C4.1
- D5
Correct answer
C. 4.1
Step-by-step solution
The half life t _ 1 / 2 =10 days The decay constant k = 0.693 t _ 1 / 2 = 0.693 10 days =0.0693 days ⁻¹ The time required for one fourth conversion aligned & t = 2.303 k ₁₀ a a - x &= 2.303 0.0693 day ⁻¹ ₁₀ 1 1-(1 / 4) =4.1 days aligned
