Question

(C) For a first order reaction,the rate constant is given by $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}$.For $90\%$ completion,$x = 0.9a$,so $a-x = 0.1a$

$3.3$ times that of half life

Vedclass · Answer

(C) For a first order reaction,the rate constant is given by $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}$.For $90\%$ completion,$x = 0.9a$,so $a-x = 0.1a$. Thus,$t_{90\%} = \frac{2.303}{K} \log \frac{a}{0.1a} = \frac{2.303}{K} \log 10 = \frac{2.303}{K}$.We know that the half-life is $t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{K}$,which implies $K = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$.Substituting $K$ in the expression for $t_{90\%}$:$t_{90\%} = \frac{2.303}{0.693 / t_{1/2}} = \frac{2.303}{0.693} 	imes t_{1/2} \approx 3.32 	imes t_{1/2}$.Therefore,the time is approximately $3.3$ times the half-life.
