    Half-life period of a first order reaction is 10 min. Starting with initial concentration 12 M, the rate after 20 min is:                        

    A)  \[0.693\times 3M\text{ }mi{{n}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[0.0693\times 4M\text{ }mi{{n}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[0.0693M\text{ }mi{{n}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[0.0693\times 3M\text{ }mi{{n}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    :   \[\underset{Initial\,conc.}{\mathop{12M}}\,\,\xrightarrow{{{t}_{1/2}}}6M\xrightarrow{{{t}_{1/2}}}3M\] \[{{t}_{1/2}}=10\min \] \[k=\frac{0.693}{10}=0.0693{{\min }^{-1}}\] As \[{{t}_{1/2}}\] is 10 min, after 20 minutes the concentration will be 3 M. Hence, Rate \[=0.0693\times 3\text{ }M\text{ }mi{{n}^{-1}}\]
