Chemical Kinetics - Result Question 38

####38. The rate of a first order reaction is 1.5×102 molL1min1 at 0.5M concentration of the reactant. The half life of the reaction is [2004]

(a) 0.383min

(b) 23.1min

(c) 8.73min

(d) 7.53min

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) For a first order reaction, A products

r=k[A] or k=r[A]

k=1.5×1020.5=3×102

Further, t1/2=0.693k=0.6933×102=23.1min.
