Q 31 :

A molecule undergoes two independent first-order reactions whose respective half-lives are 12 min and 3 min. If both the reactions are occurring then the time taken for the 50% consumption of the reactant is _______ min. (Nearest integer)                   [2023]



(2)

K1=ln212, K2=ln23

K=K1+K2=ln212+ln23

ln2t=ln212+ln23 1t=112+13

1t=512t=125=2 min



Q 32 :

t87.5 is the time required for the reaction to undergo 87.5% completion and t50 is the time required for the reaction to undergo 50% completion. The relation between t87.5 and t50 for a first-order reaction is t87.5=x×t50.

The value of x is _______. (Nearest Integer)                             [2023]



(3)

at=a0×12.5100=a08  (87.5% completion)

a0t1/2a0/2t1/2a0/4t1/2a08

t87.5=3t1/2     x=3



Q 33 :

A(g)2B(g)+C(g) is a first order reaction. The initial pressure of the system was found to be 800 mm Hg which increased to 1600 mm Hg after 10 min. The total pressure of the system after 30 min will be ______ mm Hg. (Nearest integer)                 [2023]



(2200)

A(g)2B(g)+C(g)t=0800--t=(10 min)800-P2PP

PT=800-P+2P+P

        =800+2P=1600

So P=400 mm

So t1/2=10 min

Given time = 30 min.

So for 1st order reaction Ct=C0(2)n

n=tt1/2=3010=3n=number of half life

Ct=800(2)3=100 mm of Hg

So After 30 minutes, P=700 mm

PA=800-700=100, PB=1400, PC=700

PT of reaction mixture =100+1400+700=2200 mm of Hg
