NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

For 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) in min1n^{-1}?

A

0.0347

B

0.0250

C

0.0173

D

0.0100

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the integrated rate equation for a first-order reaction, ln([R]0/[R]) = kt, and substituting [R]0 = 0.8 M, [R] = 0.2 M, t = 40 min, we get k = (1/40) ln(4) = 0.0347 min1n^{-1}.
