Half life of a first order reaction is 1 hour. What fraction of it will remain after 3 hour?
- A \(\frac{1}{8}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{9}\)
- C \(\frac{1}{16}\)
- D \(\frac{1}{64}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\because \quad\) Half life \(\left(\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}\right)=1\) hour
\(\therefore \quad\) Fraction available after 3 hours \(=3 \times \mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}=\frac{1}{8}\)
