Question
A first order reaction takes 40 minutes for 30% decomposition. Calculate t1/2 for this reaction. (Given log 1.428 = 0.1548)
Solution
|
`A->P` |
||
| t=0 | a | 0 |
| t=t | (a-x) | x |
Now, it takes 40 min for 30% decomposition i.e. reactant left after 40 min is 70% of its initial concentration.
`So,(a-x)=70/100xxa=7/10xxa`
`k=2.303/tlog(a/(a-x)) => k=2.303/40 log a/(7/10)a=2.303/40log1.428`
`therefore k=0.00891 min `
`therefore t_(1/2)=0.693/k=0.693/0.008913=77.78 min`

(Round off to the nearest integer).
[Use: In 2 = 0.69; In 10 = 2.3]
Assertion (A): The half-life of a reaction is the time in which the concentration of the reactant is reduced to one-half of its initial concentration.
Reason (R): In first-order kinetics, when the concentration of reactant is doubled, its half-life is doubled.
Obtain a relation, `k_2/k_1 = ((t_(1/2))_2)/((t_(1/2))_1)`, where k1 and k2 are rate constants while (t1/2)1 and (t1/2)2 are half-life periods of the first order reaction at temperatures T1 and T2 respectively. Write the relation for activation energy.
