STANDARD Chemistry First Order Reactions MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A first order reaction is 50% completed in 1.26 × 10¹⁴ s. How much time would it take for 100% completion?

A

1.26 × 10¹⁵ s

B

2.52 × 10¹⁴ s

C

2.52 × 10²⁸ s

D

Infinite

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

A first order reaction theoretically never reaches 100% completion as it approaches completion asymptotically. Therefore, it would take infinite time.
