Which among the following represents the expression for \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) life of \(1^{\text {st }}\) order reaction?

  1. A \(\frac{k}{2.303} \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)\)
  2. B \(\frac{2.303}{k} \log \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\)
  3. C \(\frac{2.303}{k} \log (4)\)
  4. D \(\frac{2.303}{k} \log (3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2.303}{k} \log (4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For first order reaction, \(t=\frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{a}{a-x}\) if \(t=t_{3 / 4}\) and \(x=\frac{3}{4} a\) Then, \(t_{3 / 4}=\frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{a}{a-\frac{3 a}{4}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad t_{3 / 4}=\frac{2.303}{k} \log 4\)
