QNEET-2019-Ch-785: NEET 2019 Chemistry - Class 12 NEET-2019-Ch-785 Solution: If the rate constant for a first order reaction is k the time…
If the rate constant for a first order reaction is k the time (t) required for the completion of 99% of the reaction is given by:
Multiple Choice Options
- A t = k 4.606 _
- B t = k 2.303 _
- C t = k 0.693 _
- D t = k 6.909 _
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
For a first order reaction,
t = 2.303 k log _ [ A 0 ] [ A ]
for 99% completion of the reaction,
t = 2.303 k log _ 100 100 _ 99
_ t = 4.606 k
