        In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant, decreases from 0.8 M to 0.4 M in 15 min. The time taken for the concentration to change from 0.1 M to 0.025 M is

    A)  30 min                                 

    B)  15 min

    C)  7.5 min                               

    D)  60 min

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Order\[=1\] Concentration changes from 0.8 M to 0.4 M in (50%) 15 min thus half-life is\[=15\text{ }min={{T}_{50}}\] A change from 0.1 M to P.025 M is 75% and for first order reaction \[{{T}_{75}}=2\times 750=2\times 15=30\text{ }min\] \[{{T}_{50}}=15\text{ }min\]                 \[k=\frac{2.303\log 2}{{{T}_{50}}}=\frac{2.303\log 2}{15}\] \[a=0.1\,M\] \[(a-x)=0.025\,M\] For first order:                 \[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \left( \frac{a}{a-x} \right)\] \[\frac{2.303\log 2}{15}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{0.1}{0.025}\]                 \[=\frac{2.303}{t}\log 4\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{2.303\log 2}{15}=\frac{2\times 2.303\log 2}{t}\] \[\therefore \]  \[t=30\text{ }min\]
