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

The reaction \(2X \to B\) is a zeroth order reaction. If the initial concentration of \(X\) is \(0.2\,M\), the half life is \(6\, h\). When the initial concentration of \(X\) is \(0.5\, M\), the time required to reach its final concentration of \(0.2\, M\) will be ........ \(hr\)

  1. A \(9.0\)
  2. B \(12.0\)
  3. C \(18.0\)
  4. D \(7.2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(18.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For zero order reaction \({C_o}\, - \,{C_t}\, = \,Kt\) \(0.5M\, - \,0.2M\, = \,Kt\) \(0.3\, = \,Kt\) ....... \((1)\) \('K'\) can be calculated by \({t_{1/2}}\, = \,\frac{{{C_o}}}{{2K}}\) \(6\, = \,\frac{{0.2}}{{2K}}\)…
