Q.

For the reaction A → products.

The concentration of A at 10 minutes is ______ ×10-3 mol L-1 (nearest integer).

The reaction was started with 2.5 mol L-1 of A.                 [2025]


Ans.

(2435)

As half-life is directly proportional to initial concentration, the given reaction is a zero-order reaction.

For zero order reaction: t1/2=a02k

Thus, slope of t1/2 vs a0 is 12k.

As per given in graph, 12k=76.92

k=12×76.92

Also, for zero-order reaction, at=a0-kt

at=10=2.5-12×76.92×10=2435×10-3mol/L
