NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question
Given a first-order reaction, if the concentration of the reactant decreases from 0.8 M to 0.2 M in 40 minutes, what is the rate constant (k) of the reaction?
0.03465 min⁻¹
0.01732 min⁻¹
0.00577 min⁻¹
0.02310 min⁻¹
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a first-order reaction, the rate constant k can be calculated using the formula ln([R]₀/[R]) = kt. Here, ln(0.8/0.2) = k * 40 min, solving gives k ≈ 0.03465 min⁻¹.
