The reaction A(s) → 2 B(g) + C(g) is first order. The pressure after 20 min. and after very long time are 150 mm Hg and 225 mm Hg. The value of rate constant and pressure after 40 min. are :
A
0.05 In 1.5 min–1, 200 mm
B
0.5 ln 2 min–1, 300 mm
C
0.05 In 3 min–1, 300 mm
D
0.05 In 3 min–1 , 200 mm
Answer
0.05 In 3 min–1 , 200 mm
Explanation
Solution
A (s) → 2 B (g) + C (g)
K=t1In(P∞−PtP∞−P0)P0=0Pt=150P∞=225
201In[225−150225]⇒201In(75225)=0.05In3
201In(75225)=201In(225×P40225)⇒(75225)2=225×P40225
75×75225=225−P401⇒P40=200
