The time required for completion of 93 . 75 % of a first order reaction is x minutes. The half life of it (in minutes) is
Options
- Ax 8
- Bx 2
- Cx 4
- Dx 3
Correct answer
C. x 4
Step-by-step solution
The integrated rate equation for first order reaction is as follows, k = 2 . 303 t log A t A 0 A t = Concentration left at time t. A 0 = intial concentration. The integrated rate equation for 93 . 75 % completion is k = 2 . 303 x log 6 . 25 100 and k = 0 . 693 t 1 / 2 Now, 2 . 303 x log 6 . 25 100 = 0 . 693 t 1 / 2 t 1 / 2 = x 4
