Time required for completion of \(99.9 \%\) of a First order reaction is_________ times of half life \(\left(\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}\right)\) of the reaction.

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(17\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{t_{99.9 \%}}{t_{1 / 2}}=\frac{\frac{2.303}{k}\left(\frac{a}{a-x}\right)}{\frac{2.303}{k} \log 2}=\frac{\log \left(\frac{100}{100-99.9}\right)}{\log 2}=\frac{\log 10^3}{\log 2}=\frac{3}{0.3}=10\)
