JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 3. Chemical kinetics

At \(345\, K\), the half life for the decomposition of a sample of a gaseous compound initially at \(55.5\, kPa\) was \(340\, s\). When the pressure was \(27.8 \,kPa\), the half life was fund to be \(170\, s\). The order of the reaction is \(......\) [integer answer]

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(t_{1 / 2} \times \frac{1}{\left[P_{0}\right]^{n-1}}\) \(\frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}}=\frac{\left(P_{2}\right)^{n-1}}{\left(P_{1}\right)^{n-1}}\) \(\frac{340}{170}=\left(\frac{27.8}{55.5}\right)^{ n -1}\) \(\Rightarrow 2=\frac{1}{(2)^{ n -1}}\) \(n =0\)
