JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 3. Chemical kinetics
Drug \(X\) becomes ineffective after \(50 \%\) decomposition. The original concentration of drug in a bottle was \(16 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{mL}\) which becomes \(4 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{mL}\) in 12 months. The expiry time of the drug in months is __________. Assume that the decomposition of the drug follows first order kinetics.
- A 2
