Q.

If compound A reacts with B following first order kinetics with rate constant 2.011×10-3s-1. The time taken by A (in seconds) to reduce from 7 g to 2 g will be ______.  (Nearest integer) [log 5 = 0.698, log 7 = 0.845, log 2 = 0.301]                      [2023]


Ans.

(623)

K=1tln(aa-x)

K=1tln(W0Wt)

t=1Kln(72)

t=2.303K[log7-log2]

  =2.303K[0.845-0.301]

=2.3032.011×10-3×0.544=622.989 sec
