STANDARD Chemistry First Order Reactions MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The rate constant for a first order reaction is 2 × 10⁻² min⁻¹. The half-life period of reaction is:

A

69.3 min.

B

34.65 min.

C

17.37 min.

D

3.46 min.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The half-life period for a first order reaction is given by t_{1/2} = rac{0.693}{k}. Substituting the given rate constant, the half-life is calculated to be 34.65 min.
