Consider the following reaction A Products This reaction is completed in 100 ~min . The rate constant of this reaction at t₁=10 min , is 10⁻² ~min ⁻¹ . What is the rate constant ( . in ⁻¹ ) at t₂=20 ~min ?
Options
- A2 10⁻²
- B10⁻²
- C5 10⁻³
- D0.1
Correct answer
B. 10⁻²
Step-by-step solution
For a first order reaction, rate constant does not depend upon concentration. Rate constant at t₂=20 ~min also 10⁻² ~min ⁻¹ (constant).
