STANDARD Chemistry First Order Reactions MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

For a first order reaction, A → P, t₁/₂ (half-life) is 10 days. The time required for 1/4th conversion of A (in days) is (ln 2 = 0.693, ln 3 = 1.1)

A

5

B

4.1

C

3.2

D

2.5

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

For a first order reaction, t = (2.303/k) log([A]₀/[A]). Using the given half-life, k = 0.693/10. For 1/4th conversion, [A] = 3/4[A]₀. Solving gives t ≈ 4.1 days.
