    The rate of a first order reaction is 0.04 mat 10 min and at 20 min. Thus, half-life of the reaction is

    A) 24.1 min

    B) 34.8 min

    C) 60.1 min

    D) 48.2 min

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For first order reaction \[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \left( \frac{a}{a-x} \right)\]
    \[\frac{kt}{2.303}=\log a-\log \,(a-x)\]
    \[\frac{k{{t}_{1}}}{2.303}=\log a-\log (a-{{x}_{1}})\]at time \[{{t}_{1}}\]
    \[\frac{k{{t}_{2}}}{2.303}=\log a-\log (a-{{x}_{2}})\]\[{{t}_{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[\frac{k}{2.303}({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})=log\left( \frac{a-{{x}_{1}}}{a-{{x}_{2}}} \right)\]
    Rate, \[{{r}_{1}}=k(a-{{x}_{1}})\]
    \[{{r}_{2}}=k(a-{{x}_{2}})\]
    \[\therefore \]\[\frac{(a-{{x}_{1}})}{(a-{{x}_{2}})}=\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{0.04}{0.03}=\frac{4}{3}\]
    \[\frac{k(20-10)}{2.303}=\log \frac{4}{3}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[k=\frac{2.303}{10}\log \frac{4}{3}=\frac{2.303}{10}\log 1.33\]
    \[=\frac{2.303\times 0.125}{10}=0.02878\,{{\min }^{-\,1}}\]
    Also, for 1st order \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}\]
    \[{{T}_{50}}=\frac{0.693}{0.02878}=24.1\min \]
