What is half-life of a first order reaction if time required to decrease concentration of reactant from 0.8 ~mol dm ⁻³ to 0.2 ~mol dm ⁻³ is 12 hour?
Options
- A6 hour
- B3 hour
- C1.5 hour
- D12 hour
Correct answer
A. 6 hour
Step-by-step solution
If conc. decreases from 0.8 mol dm ^3 to 0.2 mol dm ^3 it means 75 % of reactant is consumed aligned & t _ 75 % =2 t _ 1 / 2 & or t _ 1 / 2 =6 hr aligned
