What is the half life of a first order reaction if time required to decrease concentration of reactant from 0.8 M to 0.2 M is 12 hour?
Options
- A1.5 hour
- B3 hour
- C6 hour
- D12 hour
Correct answer
C. 6 hour
Step-by-step solution
For the first order reaction, array ll & k= 2.303 t ₁₀ [ ~A ]₀ [ ~A ]_ t = 2.303 12 hour ₁₀ [0.8] [0.2] & k =0.1919 0.6020=0.1155 hour ⁻¹ & t _ l / 2 = 0.693 0.1155 ~h ⁻¹ =6 hour array
