A first order reaction takes 10 minutes for `25%` decomposition. Calculate half life period of the reaction. |
|
Answer» Calculation of rate constant for the reaction. For a first order reaction, , `k=2.303/t loga/(a-x)` a=100, (a-x) = 100-25 =75, t=10mm `k=2.303/(10 min)log 100/75 = (2.303 xx 0.125)/(10 min)= 0.02879 min^(-1)` Step II) Calculation of half life period for the reaction. `t_(1//2) = 0.693/k = 0.693/(0.02879 min^(-1))` = 24.07 minutes. |
