A first order reaction has rate constant 1 10⁻² ~s ⁻¹ . What time will it take for 20 ~g of reactant to reduce to 5 ~g ?
Options
- A346.5 ~S
- B238.6 ~S
- C138.6 ~S
- D693.0 ~S
Correct answer
C. 138.6 ~S
Step-by-step solution
(A) k =1 10⁻² ~s ⁻¹, [ ~A ]₀=20 ~g ,[ ~A ]_ t =5 ~g For first order reaction, t= 2.303 k ₁₀ [A]₀ [A]_ t t= 2.303 1 10⁻² ₁₀ 20 5 t =2.303 0.602 10²=138.6 ~s
