A substance undergoes first order decomposition. The decomposition follows two parallel first order reaction as: and `KP_(1)=1.26xx10^(-4)sec^(-1)` `K_(2)=3.80xx10^(-5)sec^(-1)` The percentage distribution of B and C are:A. `80%B and 20%C`B. `76.83% and 231.7%C`C. `90%B and 10%C`D. `60%B and 40%C`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
For parallel path reaction,
`K_("average")=K_(1)+K_(2)`
`=1.26xx10^(-4)+3.8xx10^(-5)`
`1.64xx10^(-4) sec^(-1)`
Also fractional yield of `B=K_(B)/K_(av)`
`=(1.26xx10^(-4))/(1.64xx10^(-4))=0.7683`
Fraction yield of `A=K_(A)/K_(av)`
`=(3.8xx10^(-5))/(1.64xx10^(-4))=0.2317`
