####35. If 60 of a first order reaction was completed in 60 minutes, 50 of the same reaction would be completed in aproximately

(a) 45 minutes

(b) 60 minutes

(c) 40 minutes

(d) 50 minutes

[2007] (log4=0.60,log5=0.69)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) For a first order reaction

k=2.303tlogaax

when t=60 and x=60

k=2.30360log10010060=2.30360log10040=0.0153 Now,

t1/2=2.3030.0153log10010050=2.3030.0153×log2=2.3030.0153×0.3010=45.31min.
