    In a first order reaction 25% reactant decomposed in 40.5 minutes. The rate constant of the reaction is:

    A)  \[7.11\times {{10}^{-3}}\]minute

    B)  \[14.22\times {{10}^{-3}}\]minute    

    C)  \[7.11\times {{10}^{-6}}\]minute

    D)  \[14.22\times {{10}^{-6}}\]minute

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In 40.5 minute 25% reactant decomposed, the reactant remained is 75%. \[\therefore \] \[(a-x)=0.75\,a\] We know, that\[{{K}_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{a}{a-x}\] \[=\frac{2.303}{40.5}\log \frac{a}{0.75a}\] \[=7.11\times {{10}^{-3}}\]minutes
