`T_(50)` of first order reaction is 10 min. starting with 10 `"mol"^(-1)` rate after 20 min is :
A. `0.0693xx"mol" L^(-1)min^(-1)`
B. `0.0693xx2.5"mol" L^(-1)min^(-1)`
C. `0.0693xx5"mol" L^(-1)min^(-1)`
D. `0.0693xx10"mol" L^(-1)min^(-1)`
Correct Answer - B
Remainin concetration of reactant after 20 min
`=(1)/(4)xx102.5"mol"L^(-1)`
`"Rate"=kxx["Reactant"]=(0.693)/(t_(1//2))xx["Reactant"]`
`=(0.693)/(10xx2.5=0.0693xx2.5 "mol"L^(-1) min^(-1)`
Step. I. Calculation of rate constant (k).
For first order reaction, rate( r) `propto C` or kC
Rate `(r_(1)) = kC_(1)` and Rate `(r_(2)) =kC_(2)`
`therefore` Rate `(r_(1))= kC_(1)` and...
Correct Answer - D
d) `underset("Initial conc")(12M)overset(t_(1//2))to6Moverset(t_(1//2))tounderset("Final conc.")(3M)`
`t_(1//2) = 10`min , k = `(0.693)/(10)=0.0693 min^(-1)`
After 20 minutes, the concentration will be 3M.
rate =k[3M] = `(0.0693 min^(-1) xx 3M)`s
