Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics
A first order reaction has the rate constant, k=46×10−3s−1 The number of correct statement/s from the following is/are _______
Given: log3=0.48
A. Reaction completes in 1000s
B. The reaction has a half-life of 500s
C. The time required for 10% completion is 25 times the time required for 90% completion
D. The degree of dissociation is equal to (1−e−kt)
E. The rate and the rate constant have the same unit
Answer
The correct answer is 2.
t10%=K1ln(a−xa)=K1ln(90100)
t10%=K2.303(log10−log9)
t10%=K2.093×(0.04)
Similarly
t90%=K1ln(10100)
t90%=K2.303
t10%t90%=0.041=25
ekt=a−xa
aa−x=e−kt
1−ax=e−kt
x=a(1−e−kt)
α=ax=(1−e−kt)
