The half life of a first order reaction having rate constant, \(k=1.7 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1}\) is
- A 9.7 hrs
- B 11.3 hrs
- C 40.2 hrs
- D 18 hrs
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 11.3 hrs
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k}\) \(t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{1.7 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1}} = 40764.7 s\) \(t_{1/2} = 40764.7 s \times \frac{1 hr}{3600 s} = 11.3 hrs\)

The chemical reactions proceed at different rates which depend on various factors like concentration, temperature, etc. Rate law is an expression which relates the rate of reaction with concentration of various reacting species in the reaction. For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant after time \(t\) is related with its initial concentration by the relation, \(C=C_0 e^{-k t}\). The rate constants for different orders have different expressions. For a first order reaction, \(k=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}\), where \(a\) is the initial concentration and \(x\) is the extent of reaction.
A reaction which is first order with respect to the reactant \(A\) has a rate constant of \(6 min^{-1}\). If the reaction is started with \([A]=5.0 mol L ^{-1}\) when would \([A]\) reach the value of \(0.05 mol L ^{-1}\)CUET 2025 Easy - Which one of the following statements regarding electrolytic solution is not correct?CUET 2025 Hard
