    Half-life of a substance A following first order kinetics is 5 days. Starting with 100g of A, amount left after 15 days is   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) 25 g   

    B)                           50 g                          

    C) \[12.5\]g                

    D)           \[6.25\]g

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[C={{C}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{\gamma }}\] \[y=\frac{total\,time}{half-life}=3={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}=12.5\,\,g\] For first order chemical kinetics                                 \[K=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[{{R}_{0}}]}{[R]}\] where, \[[{{R}_{0}}]\] is initial concentration, [R] is concentration of reactant after t time. Relation between half-life of a substance with K is                    \[K=\frac{0.69}{{{t}^{1/2}}}=\frac{0.69}{5}\] On placing the value of k in above equation                    \[\frac{0.69}{5}=\frac{2.303}{15}\log \frac{100}{[A]}\]                    \[\log \frac{100}{[A]}=\frac{0.69\times 15}{5\times 2.303}=0.898\]                    \[\log 100-\log [A]=0.898\]                    \[2-0.898=\log [A]\]                    \[\log [A]=1.1\]                    \[[A]=\] antilog 1.1                    \[[A]=12.5g\]
