If the rate constant for a first order reaction is k , the time (t) required for the completion of 99 % of the reaction is given by
Options
- At= 4.606 k
- Bt= 2303 k
- Ct= 0.693 k
- Dt= 6.909 k
Correct answer
A. t= 4.606 k
Step-by-step solution
Given, for a first order reaction, let initial concentration = [R₀ ] After 99 % completion, concentration aligned [R] &=R₀-0.99 R₀ &=0.1 R₀ aligned Using formula, t= 2303 k [R₀ ] [R] = 2303 k 100 1 = 4.606 k
