In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant, decreases from 0.8M to 0.4M in 15minutes. The time taken for the concentration to change from 0.1M to 0.025M is
(a) : The concentration of the reactant decreases from 0.8M to 0.4M in 15 minutes,
i.e. t1/2 = 15 minute.
Therefore, the concentration of reactant will fall from 0.1M to 0.025M in two half lives.
i.e. 2t1/2 = 2 × 15 = 30 minutes.
According to the given reaction:
Rate = k [A] [B]2
(i) When the concentration of reactant ‘B’ is increased three times the rate of reaction becomes 9 times.
i.e., Rate = k [A]...
