A first order reaction has the rate constant, $\mathrm{k=4.6\times10^{-3}~s^{-1}}$. The number of correct statement/s from the following is/are __________
A. Reaction completes in 1000 s.
B. The reaction has a half-life of 500 s.
C. The time required for 10% completion is 25 times the time required for 90% completion.
D. The degree of dissociation is equal to ($\mathrm{1-e^{-kt}}$)
E. The rate and the rate constant have the same unit.
Solution
(A) $\underset{1-\alpha}{\mathrm{A}} \longrightarrow$ Products
<br/><br/>
$\mathrm{k}=4.6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
<br/><br/>
$\mathrm{kt}=\ln \frac{1}{1-\alpha}$
<br/><br/>
$\alpha=1-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{kt}}$
<br/><br/>
Reaction completes at infinite time.
<br/><br/>(B) For first order reaction,
<br/><br/>
Half-life $=\frac{0.693}{4.6 \times 10^{-3}}=150.65 \mathrm{~s}$
<br/><br/>
(C) For $10 \%$ completion, $t=t_1$
<br/><br/>$$
\begin{aligned}
& a=100, a-x=100-10=90 \\\\
& k=\frac{2.303}{t_1} \log \frac{100}{90}=4.6 \times 10^{-3} \\\\
& t_1=\frac{2.303}{4.6 \times 10^{-3}} \times 0.04575
\end{aligned}
$$
<br/><br/>For $90 \%$ completion $t=t_2, a=100, a-x=100-90=10$
<br/><br/>$$
\begin{aligned}
& k=\frac{2.303}{t_2} \log \frac{100}{10}=4.6 \times 10^{-3} \\\\
& \frac{2.303}{t_2} \times 1=4.6 \times 10^{-3} \Rightarrow t_2=\frac{2.303}{4.6 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\
& \frac{t_2}{t_1}=\frac{1}{0.04575}=21.85 \quad \text { (Incorrect) }
\end{aligned}
$$
<br/><br/>
(E) Unit of rate = mol L<sup>–1</sup>s<sup>–1</sup>
<br/><br/>Unit of rate constant = s<sup>–1</sup>
<br/><br/>Both have different units.
<br/><br/>
$\therefore$ Number of correct statements $=1$
