Calculate the amount of reactant in percent that remains after 60 minutes involved in first order reaction. ( k =0.02303 . minute .⁻¹ )
Options
- A25 %
- B50 %
- C75 %
- D12.5 %
Correct answer
A. 25 %
Step-by-step solution
For a first order reaction, aligned & k= 0.693 t_ 1 / 2 & t_ 1 / 2 = 0.693 0.02303 =30 ~min aligned Percent of reactant that remains after t_ 1 / 2 =50 % . 2 t _ 1 / 2 =60 ~min Therefore, percent of reactant that remains after 2 t _ 1 / 2 =25 %
