If the half life of a first order reaction is \(6.93\) minutes then the time required for completion of \(99\)% of the reaction will be _____ minutes.
(Given : \(\log 2 = 0.3010\))

  1. A 46.01
  2. B 46.02
  3. C 46.03
  4. D 46.06
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 46.06

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a first-order reaction, the rate constant \(k\) is given by: \(k = \dfrac{2.303 \log 2}{t_{1/2}}\) Using the standard approximation \(2.303 \log 2 \approx 0.693\): \(k = \dfrac{0.693}{6.93} = 0.1 \text{ min}^{-1}\) The time required for \(99\%\) completion of the reaction is…
