Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{1}{t}\ln\dfrac{p_i}{2p_i - p_t}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given reaction is \(A(g) \rightarrow B(g) + C(g)\) At \(t = 0\), the initial pressure of A is \(p_i\) and the pressures of B and C are \(0\). At time \(t\), let the decrease in pressure of A be \(x\). Pressure of A \(= p_i - x\) Pressure of B \(= x\) Pressure of C \(= x\)…
