If the rate constant for a first order reaction is k , then find the time required for completion of 80 % of the reaction.
Options
- A3.2 k
- B1.6 k
- C4.8 k
- D0.8 k
Correct answer
B. 1.6 k
Step-by-step solution
First order rate constant is given as k= 2.303 t [A₀ ] [A_t ] 80 % completed, then [A₀ ]=100A_t=100-80=20 aligned & k= 2.303 t 100 20 & k= 2.303 t 10 2 & k= 2.303 t ( 10- 2) & k= 2.303 t (1-0.3) & k= 2.303 0.7 t t= 1.6 k . aligned
