The rate constant for a first order reaction is 4.606×103s14.606 \times 10^{-3} s^{-1}. The time required to reduce 2.0 g of the reactant to 0.2 g is :

A

100 s

B

200 s

C

500 s

D

1000 s

Step-by-Step Solution

For a first order reaction, t=2.303klog[A]0[A]tt = \frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t}. Given k=4.606×103s1k = 4.606 \times 10^{-3} s^{-1}, [A]0=2.0g[A]_0 = 2.0 g, [A]t=0.2g[A]_t = 0.2 g. t=2.3034.606×103log2.00.2=2.3034.606×103log10=2.3034.606×103×1=10002=500st = \frac{2.303}{4.606 \times 10^{-3}} \log \frac{2.0}{0.2} = \frac{2.303}{4.606 \times 10^{-3}} \log 10 = \frac{2.303}{4.606 \times 10^{-3}} \times 1 = \frac{1000}{2} = 500 s.
