Explanation / Answer

5. For a first order reaction,

rate constant k = 3 x 10^-3 s-1

using,

ln[A]t = ln[A]o - kt

t = time

So,

for [A]t = 25

[A]o = 100

we get,

time taken t = [ln(100) - ln(25)/3 x 10^-3) = 462 s

Answer : B) 462 s

6. [A]o = 0.0314 M

t = 62 min

k = 6.4 x 10^-3 min-1

So,

ln[A]t = ln(0.0314) - 6.4 x 10^-3 x 62

amount remaining after 62 min [A]t = 2.11 x 10^-2 M

Answer : D) 2.11 x 10^-2 M

7. [A]o = 100

[A]t = 75

t = 42 min

so,

k = [(ln[A]o - ln[A]t]/t

   = [ln(100) - ln(75)]/42 = 6.85 x 10^-3 min-1

Half-life t1/2,

t1/2 = ln2/k

       = ln2/6.85 x 10^-3 = 101 min

answer : E) 101 min

8. k = 0.0447 h-1

half life t1/2 = ln2/k

                   = ln2/0.0447 = 15.5 h

Answer : C) 15.5 h
