A first-order reaction takes 69.3 min for 50% completion. What is the time needed for 80% of the reaction to get completed?
(Given: log 5 =0.6990, log 8 = 0.9030, log 2 = 0.3010)
Answer:
Half life t1/2 = 0.693 /k
k= 0.693/69.3 = 1/100 = 0.01 min -1
For first order reaction
π = 2.303/π‘ πππ [π π]/[π ]
π‘ = 2.303/0.01 πππ 100/20
π‘ = 230.3 log 5 (log 5 =0.6990)
t= 160.9 min
