Question

(C) For a first order reaction,the rate constant is given by $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}$.For $90\%$ completion,$x = 0.9a$,so $a-x = 0.1a$

$3.3$ times that of half life

Vedclass · Answer

(C) For a first order reaction,the rate constant is given by $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}$.For $90\%$ completion,$x = 0.9a$,so $a-x = 0.1a$. Thus,$t_{90\%} = \frac{2.303}{K} \log \frac{a}{0.1a} = \frac{2.303}{K} \log 10 = \frac{2.303}{K}$.We know that the half-life is $t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{K}$,which implies $K = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$.Substituting $K$ in the expression for $t_{90\%}$:$t_{90\%} = \frac{2.303}{0.693 / t_{1/2}} = \frac{2.303}{0.693} 	imes t_{1/2} \approx 3.32 	imes t_{1/2}$.Therefore,the time is approximately $3.3$ times the half-life.

$A$ first order reaction has the rate constant $10^{-2} \ sec^{-1}$. If the initial concentration of reactant is $1 \ M$,then what will be the rate of reaction after $1 \ minute$?

The half-life of a first-order reaction is $10 \ min$. If the initial concentration is $0.08 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ and the concentration at some instant is $0.01 \ mol \ L^{-1}$,then $t =$ ........... $\min$.
