For a first-order gas-phase reaction $A(g) \to B(g) + C(g)$, let $p_i$ be the initial pressure of gas $A$ and $p_t$ be the total pressure of the reaction mixture at time $t$. The expression for the rate constant $(k)$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{p_i}{2p_i - p_t}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{2p_i}{p_i - p_t}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{p_i}{3p_i - 2p_t}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{3p_i}{4p_i - p_t}$
