2A k B is a zero-order reaction, where k=1.0 mol L ^ -1 min ^ -1 ....

2A→kB2\text{A}\xrightarrow{k}\text{B} is a zero-order reaction, where k=1.0k=1.0 mol L−1^{-1} min−1^{-1}. If the initial concentration of A is 22 M, then the time taken to complete 75%75\% of the reaction will be

Options

  1. A2.02.0 min
  2. B1.51.5 min
  3. C0.750.75 min
  4. D1.01.0 min

Correct answer

C. 0.750.75 min

Step-by-step solution

For a zero-order reaction 2A→B2\text{A} \rightarrow \text{B}, the rate of reaction is expressed as:

Rate=−12d[A]dt=k\text{Rate} = -\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{d[\text{A}]}{dt} = k

⇒−d[A]dt=2k\Rightarrow -\dfrac{d[\text{A}]}{dt} = 2k

Integrating this equation, we get the integrated rate law:

[A]0−[A]t=2kt[\text{A}]_0 - [\text{A}]_t = 2kt

Given:
Initial concentration, [A]0=2[\text{A}]_0 = 2 M
Rate constant, k=1.0k = 1.0 mol L−1^{-1} min−1^{-1}

For 75%75\% completion of the reaction, the amount of A reacted is:

[A]0−[A]t=75100×2=1.5[\text{A}]_0 - [\text{A}]_t = \dfrac{75}{100} \times 2 = 1.5 M

Substituting these values into the integrated rate equation:

1.5=2×1.0×t1.5 = 2 \times 1.0 \times t

2t=1.52t = 1.5

t=0.75t = 0.75 min
