    75% of a first order reaction was completed in 32 min, when was 50% of the reaction completed?

    A)  24 min                                 

    B)  16 min

    C)  8 min                                   

    D)  48 min

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     First order reaction, \[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{a}{a-x}\] Here, \[\therefore \]   \[a=100\] \[\therefore \]     \[x=75%\] \[\because \]     \[a-x=(100-75)%=25%\]                 \[k=\frac{2.303}{32}\log \frac{100}{25}\]                 \[=\frac{2.303}{32}\log 4\]                 \[=\frac{2.303\times \log {{2}^{2}}}{32}\]                 \[=\frac{2.303\times 2\log 2}{32}\]                 \[=\frac{2.303\times 2\times 0.3010}{32}=\frac{2\times 0.63}{32}\] \[\therefore \]     \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}\]\[\therefore \]\[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{2\times 0.693/32}\] \[=16\text{ }min\]
