Thermal decomposition of HCOOH is a first order reaction and the rate constant at T(K) is 4.606 10⁻³ ~s ⁻¹ . The time required to decompose 90 % of initial quantity of HCOOH at T( ~K ) in second is
Options
- A100
- B500
- C1000
- D50
Correct answer
B. 500
Step-by-step solution
First order reaction aligned & K= 2.303 t A₀ A & Given, K=4.606 10⁻³ ~s ⁻¹ & A=90 %, A₀= Initial quantity =100 % & t= 2.303 4.606 10⁻³ 1 1-9 & t=500 ~s aligned
