A first order reaction has a specific reaction rate of 1 0 – 2 s e c - 1 . How much time will it take for 20 g of the reactant to reduce to 5 g?
Options
- A138.8 sec
- B346.5 sec
- C693.0 sec
- D238.6 sec
Correct answer
A. 138.8 sec
Step-by-step solution
It is based on first order kinetics so using the given relation K = 2.303 t l o g 10 N 0 N T t = 2.303 1 0 - 2 × l o g 10 20 5 On solving t = 138.87 sec.
