    The rate constant of a first order reaction, where half-life is 8 min, is:

    A)  \[1.44{{s}^{-1}}\]                            

    B)  \[0.72\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[1.44\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]        

    D)  \[2.88\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    For first order reaction \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}\] \[8=\frac{0.693}{k}\] \[k=\frac{0.693}{8}=0.087\,{{\min }^{-1}}\] \[=1.44\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]
