QJEEM24Chb25d: JEE Main 2024 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM24Chb25d Solution: Consider the following reaction, the rate expression of which…

Consider the following reaction, the rate expression of which is given below

A+B→C rate =k[A]1/2[ B]1/2

The reaction is initiated by taking 1 M concentration of A and B each. If the rate constant (k) is 4.6×10−2 s−1, then the time taken for A to become 0.1 M is _________ sec. (nearest integer)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

A+B→C−d[A]dt=k[A]1/2[B]1/2

Since, [A]=[B]

⇒−d[A]dt=k[A]⇒kt=ln⁡[A]0[A]⇒t=14.6×10−2×ln⁡(10.1)=2.3034.6×100≈50
