    The rate constant for a first order reaction is \[60{{s}^{-1}}\]. How much time it will take to reduce the concentration of the reactant to \[1/{{10}^{th}}\] of its initial value?

    A)  \[3.8\times {{10}^{-2}}s\]

    B)  \[1.26\times {{10}^{13}}s\]

    C)  \[2.01\times {{10}^{13}}s\]

    D)  \[1.097\times {{10}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    For a first order reaction, \[t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log \frac{{{[A]}_{0}}}{[A]}\] Here,    \[{{A}_{0}}\] = initial concentration A = final concentration Given,  \[k=60{{s}^{-1}},[A]={{[A]}_{0}}/10\] Now,     \[t=\frac{2.303}{60}\log \frac{{{[A]}_{0}}}{{{[A]}_{0}}/10}\]                 \[=\frac{2.303}{60}\log 10\]                 \[=0.038s\] or \[3.8\times {{10}^{-2}}s\]
