[NEET Odisha 2019]

(a) 602s

(b) 230.3s

(c) 301s

(d) 2000s

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) For a first order reaction

Half life period, t12=0.693k=0.6932.303×103s1 =300.91s

Now, 40gt1/220gt1/210g

So, 40g substance requires 2 half life periods to reduce upto 10g

Time taken in reduction =2×300.91s

=601.82602s
