In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decrease from \(0.6 \mathrm{M}\) to \(0.3 \mathrm{M}\) in \(15 \mathrm{~min}\). The time taken for the concentration to change from \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\) to \(0.025 \mathrm{M}\) in minutes is

  1. A \(1.2\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(30\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, concentration of the reactant decreases from \(0.6 \mathrm{M}\) to \(0.3 \mathrm{M}\) (i.e., halved) in 15 minutes, therefore half time for this reaction be \(15 \mathrm{~min}\). \[ \text { i.e. }, t_{1 / 2}=15 \mathrm{~min} \] Now for a first order reaction…
