    The decomposition of a substance follows first order kinetics. Its concentration is reduced to 1/ 8th of its initial value in 24 minutes. The rate constant of the decomposition process is

    A) \[{1}/{24\,{{\min }^{-1}}}\;\]

    B) \[\frac{0.692}{24}\,{{\min }^{-1}}\]

    C) \[\frac{2.303}{24}\,\log \,\left( \frac{1}{8} \right)\,{{\min }^{-1}}\]

    D) \[\frac{2.303}{24}\,\log \,\left( \frac{8}{1} \right)\,{{\min }^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]\[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{a}{a-x}\]\[=\frac{2.303}{24}\log \frac{1}{\frac{1}{8}}=\frac{2.303}{24}\log \frac{8}{1}{{\min }^{-1}}\]
