JEE Main 2023 (Online) 1st February Evening Shift Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics and Nuclear Chemistry Question 56 English Explanation

a−x=a4⇒x=3a4\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4} \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{3 \mathrm{a}}{4}

t1/2=a2 K=50 min.\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{~K}}=50 \mathrm{~min} .

⇒aK=100 min.\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{K}}=100 \mathrm{~min} .

t=xK=3a4 K=75 min\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{K}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{~K}}=75 \mathrm{~min}
