Consider the following parallel reactions being given by `A(t_(1//2) = 1.386 xx 10^(2) hours)`, each path being first order. If the distribution of `B` in the Product mixture is `50%`, the partical half life of `A` for converison into `B` isA. `A. 346.5 h`B. `B. 131 h`C. `C. 115.5 h`D. `D. 31 h` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A `(2k_(1))/(2k_(1) + 3k_(2)) = 0.5` and `k_(1) + k_(2) = (0.693)/(1.386 xx 10^(2)) =5 xx 10^(-3)h^(-1)` Solving `(k_(1))/(k_(2)) = (2)/(3)` and `k_(1) = 2 xx 10^(-3) h^(-1)` and `k_(2) = 3 xx 10^(-3) h^(-1)` `t_(1//2(A rarr B)) = (0.693)/(k_(2)) = (0.693)/(3 xx 10^(-3)) = 231 h` |
