A first order reaction has a rate constant \(0.00813 \mathrm{~min}^{-1}\). How long will it take for \(60 \%\)
completion?

  1. A \(98.7 \mathrm{~min}\)
  2. B \(56.35 \mathrm{~min}\)
  3. C \(112.7 \mathrm{~min}\)
  4. D \(62 \cdot 77 \mathrm{~min}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(112.7 \mathrm{~min}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A)
Original amount of reactant \(=100\)
\([\mathrm{A}]_{t}=\) Reactant remaining unreacted \(=100-60=40\)
For first order reaction,
\(\therefore t=\frac{2.303}{0.00813 \mathrm{~min}^{-1}} \log _{10} \frac{100}{40}=112.7 \mathrm{~min}\)
