Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
The rate of a first-order reaction is 0.04 mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹ at 10 seconds and 0.03 mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹ at 20 seconds after initiation of the reaction. The half-life period of the reaction is ________.
A
44.1 s
B
54.1 s
C
24.1 s
D
34.1 s
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
For a first-order reaction, the half-life is calculated using the formula t₁/₂ = 0.693/k. The rate constant k can be determined from the change in concentration over time.
