    A first order reaction has a specific reaction rate of\[{{10}^{-2}}{{s}^{-1}}.\] How much time will it take for 20 g of the reactant to reduce to 5 g?       [NEET-2017]

    A) 693.0 second

    B) 238.6 second

    C) 138.6 second

    D) 346.5 second

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{{{10}^{-2}}}\]second
    For the reduction of 20 g of reactant to 5 g, two \[{{t}_{1/2}}\]is required.
                \[\therefore \]      \[t=2\times \frac{0.693}{{{10}^{-2}}}\,\text{seecond}\]
                            \[=138.6\,\text{second}\]
