    In the first order reaction, 75% of the reactant gets disappeared in 1.386 h. The rate constant of the reaction is

    A) \[3.0\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]                           

    B)        \[2.8\times {{10}^{-4}}{{s}^{-1}}\]                           

    C)        \[17.2\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]         

    D)        \[1.8\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For a first order reaction, \[k=\frac{2.303}{1.386\times 60\times 60}\log \frac{a}{a-0.75\,a}\]    \[=\frac{2.303}{1.386\times 60\times 60}\log 4\]    \[=2.8\times {{10}^{-4}}\,{{s}^{-1}}.\]
