The half-life of a first order reaction is \(25\text{ minutes}\). Its rate constant is:
- A \(2.27 \times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}\)
- B \(3.2 \times 10^{-3}\text{ min}^{-1}\)
- C \(9.2 \times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}\)
- D \(2.8 \times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(2.8 \times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(k = \frac{\ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}\) \(k = \frac{0.693}{25 \text{ min}}\) \(k \approx 0.0277 \text{ min}^{-1} \approx 2.8 \times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}\)

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 - Read the Passage carefully and answer the questions
When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a single donor atom, it is said to be a unidentate ligand but when it bind through two donor atoms, then it is said to be didentate ligand and when several donor atoms are present in a single ligand, it is said to be a polydentate ligand. When a di- or polydentate ligand uses its two or more donor atoms simultaneously to bind a single metal ion, it is said to be a chelate ligand. The number of such ligating groups is called the denticity of the ligand. ligand which has two different donor atoms and either of the two ligetes in the complex is called ambidentate ligands. The number of ligand donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded, is called coordination number of the metal ion in the complex. Complexes in which a metal is bound to only one kind of donor groups are known as homoleptic and in which a metal is bound to more than one kind of donor groups are known as heteroleptic complexes.
