Half life period of a first order reaction is 10min. Starting with initial concentration 12 M. The rate after 20 min is

Answer»

`0.0693 xx3 MIN^(-1)`
`0.0693 M min^(-1)`
`0.0693 xx4 "M min"^(-1)`
`0.693xx3 "M min"^(-1)`

Solution :(A) `K=(0.693)/(t_(1//2))= (0.693)/(10)`
=0.0693 `min^(-1)`
`t= (2.303)/(k) "LOG" ([R]_(0))/([R])`
`20 = (2.303)/(0.0693)"log" (12)/([R])`
or `"log"(12)/([R]) = 0.601`
`(12)/([R])` = Antilog (0.601)=4 .
or `[R] =(12)/(4) =3`
RATE after 20 min
Rate =`k[R]^(1)`
`=0.0693xx3` M `min^(-1)`

Half-life of a first order reaction is 5xx10^(4)s. What percentage of the initial reactant will react in 2 hours? Calculate.

Answer»

Solution :`k=(0.693)/(t_(1//2)) and k=(2.303)/(t)"log"([R]_(0))/([R])`
From these two EQUATIONS, we have
`(0.693)/(t_(1//2))=(2.303)/(t)"log"([R]_(0))/([R])`
Substituting the VALUES, wehave
`(0.693)/(5XX10^(4))=(2.303)/(7200)"log"([R]_(0))/([R])`
or `"log" ([R]_(0))/([R])=(0.693xx7200)/(5xx10^(4)xx2.303)=(4989.6)/(11.515xx10^(4))=0.0433`
or `([R]_(0))/([R])=1.105 or ([R])/([R]_(0))=(1)/(1.105)`
PERCENTAGE `=(1)/(1.105)xx100=90.49%`
20.

Half life of a first order reaction completes in 5 minutes. What persent of reactant reacts after 40 minutes ?

Answer»

Solution :`t_(½) = 15 min`
`K = (0.693)/(t_(½))`
`= (0.693)/(15)`
`K = 0.0462 min^(-1)`
For first order REACTION,
`K = (2.303)/(t) log_(10)((a)/(a-x))`
`a = 100 K =0.0462 min^(-1), x = ? T = 40 min`
`0.0462 = (2.303)/(40) log_(10)((100)/(a-x))`
`log_(10)((100)/(a-x)) = 0.8024`
`(100)/(a-x)` antilog (0.8024)
`a-x = (100)/(6.345)`
`a-x = 15.76`
`x = 100 - 15.76`
`x = 100 - 15.76`
`:. x = 84.24%`
21.

Half-lifeof ""^(210)Pb is 22 years. 2gram of lead is allowed decay for 11 years. (a) How much lead is left?and (b) Whatis the percentage decay ?

Answer»

Solution :Radioactive decay follows FIRST ORDER kinetics Number of half - lives
`"(n)"=("Total - TIME")/("Half - life")=(11y)/(22y)=1/2=0.5`.
(a) AMOUNT of lead left undecayed `=("Amount of lead taken")/(2^(n))=(2)/(sqrt(2))=1.414g`
(b) Amount of lead decayed = Amount taken - left amount `=2-1.414=0.586g`
Percentage pf lead decayed `=(0.586xx100)/(2)=29.3%`.

Half-cell reactions are given below : Mn^(2+)+2e^(-) to Mn,E_(0)=-1.18V 2(Mn^(3+)+e^(-) to Mn^(2+)),E_(0)=+1.51V then what is E_(0) for 3Mn^(2+) to Mn+2Mn^(3+) ?

Answer»

`-0.33V`, no REACTION
`-0.33V`, reaction can be possible
`-2.69V`, no reaction
`-2.69V`, no reaction

Solution :For given reactioin :
`underset(+3)(3MN^(2+)) to underset(0)(M)n+underset(+3)(2MN)^(3+)`
So, half OXIDATION : `2Mn^(2+) to 2Mn^(3+)+2e^(-)("Anode")`
`UNDERLINE("and half reduction : "Mn^(2+)+2e^(-) to Mn" (Cathode)")`
Total reaction : `3Mn^(2+) to Mn+2Mn^(3+)`
So `E_("reaction")^(@)=E_("reduction")^(@)("Cathode")-E_("red")^(@)("Anode")`
`=E_(Mn^(2+)|Mn)^(@)-E_(Mn^(3+)|Mn^(2+))^(@)`
`=(-1.18-1.51)`
`=-2.69V`
`E_("Reaction")^(@) lt 0` so no reaction is possible and here, `E_(("Reaction"))^(@)=-2.68V=-2.69V`.

Half-life for radioactive C^(14) is 5760 years. In how many years 200 mg of C^(14) sample will be reduced to 25 mg

Answer»

11520 years
23040 years
5760 years
17280 years

Solution :`25 = [(1)/(2)]^(N) xx 200, [(1)/(2)]^(n) = (25)/(200) = (1)/(8) = [(1)/(2)]^(3)`
n = 3, NUMBER of half lives = 3
so time required `= 3xx 5760 = 17280 yr`
