$A_{(g)} \rightarrow B_{(g)} + C_{(g)}$ is a first order reaction.
Time $t$ $\infty$
$P_{\text{system}}$ $P_t$ $P_{\infty}$

The reaction was started with reactant $A$ only. Which of the following expressions is correct for the rate constant $k$?

  • A
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{2(P_{\infty} - P_t)}{P_t}$
  • B
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_{\infty}}{P_t}$
  • C
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_{\infty}}{2(P_{\infty} - P_t)}$
  • D
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_{\infty}}{(P_{\infty} - P_t)}$
