  • question_answer
    The reaction, \[X\to \]product follows first order kinetics. In 40 minutes the concentration of X changes from 0.1 M to 0.025 M Then the rate of reaction when concentration of X is 0.01 M

    A)                 \[1.73\times {{10}^{-4}}M\ {{\min }^{-1}}\]         

    B)                 \[3.47\times {{10}^{-5}}M\ {{\min }^{-1}}\]

    C)                 \[3.47\times {{10}^{-4}}M\ {{\min }^{-1}}\]         

    D)                 \[1.73\times {{10}^{-5}}M\ {{\min }^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Concentration will fall from 0.1 M concentration to 0.025 M concentration within 2 half lives.                    \[2\times {{T}_{1/2}}=40\]min                    \[\therefore \ \ {{T}_{1/2}}=20\] min                    Rate of reaction = K . c \[=\frac{0.693}{{{T}_{1/2}}}.c\]                                 \[=\frac{0.693}{20}\times {{10}^{-2}}M/\min \] \[=3.47\times {{10}^{-4}}M/{{\min }^{-1}}\].
