If benzene diazonium chloride undergoes first order decomposition at \(\mathrm{T}(\mathrm{K})\) with a rate constant of \(6.93 \times 10^{-2}\) \(\mathrm{min}^{-1}\), the time for completion of \(90 \%\) of the reaction (in \(\min )\) is (nearest integer) \((\log 2=0.30, \log 3=0.477)\)

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(33\)
  4. D \(43\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(33\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

for a first order reaction; \(t=\frac{2.303}{K} \log \frac{a}{a-x}\) Now, for \(90 \%\) completion, \(a=100\) and \(a-x\) \(\begin{aligned} & =100-90=10 . \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=\frac{2.303}{6.93 \times 10^{-2}} \log \frac{100}{10} \\ & =33.23 \mathrm{~min} . \end{aligned}\)
