A
1.1 times that of the half-life
B
2.2 times that of the half-life
C
3.3 times that of the half-life
D
4.4 times that of the half-life
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
For a first order reaction, the time taken for 90% completion is given by t₉₀% = 2.303/k log(10/1) = 3.3 times the half-life t₁/₂.
