The time required for completion of 93.75% of a first order reaction is x minutes. The half life of it (in minutes) is

  1. A x8
  2. B x2
  3. C x4
  4. D x3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) x4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The integrated rate equation for first order reaction is as follows, k=2.303tlogAtA0 At = Concentration left at time t. A0= intial concentration. The integrated rate equation for 93.75% completion is k=2.303xlog6.25100 and k=0.693t1/2 Now, 2.303xlog6.25100=0.693t1/2t1/2=x4
