Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics
A→B The above reaction is of zero order Half life of this reaction is 50 min The time taken for the concentration of A to reduce to one-fourth of its initial value is ____ min (Nearest integer)
Answer
The correct answer is 75.
Assume reaction starts with 1 mole A
(t1/2=2ka,K=2×501
For 75% completion
a−4a=kt
t=43ka=43×a100=75
