Options:

A) 8 min

B) 16 min

C) 20 min

D) 24 min

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Given: 75% reaction gets completed in 32 min Thus, k=2.303tloga(ax)

=2.30332log100(10075)

=2.3030.0433log4=0.0433,min1 Now we can use this value of k to get the value of time required for 50% completion of reaction t=2.303kloga(ax)=2.3030.0433log10050

=2.3030.0433log2=16,min
