Question
Decomposition of A is a first order reaction at $T(K)$ and is given by $A(g) \rightarrow B(g) + C(g)$. In a closed 1 L vessel, 1 bar $A(g)$ is allowed to decompose at $T(K)$. After 100 minutes, the total pressure was 1.5 bar. What is the rate constant (in $\min^{- 1}$ ) of the reaction? ( $log2 = 0.3)$
Options
A.$6.9 \times 10^{- 1}$
B.$6.9 \times 10^{- 3}$
C.$6.9 \times 10^{- 2}$
D.$6.9 \times 10^{- 4}$
Solution
$${P_{\text{total~}} = 1 + P }{1.5 = 1 + P }{P = 0.5 }{K = \frac{1}{100}ln\frac{1}{0.5} }{= \frac{0.693}{100} }{= 6.9 \times 10^{- 3}{\text{ }\min}^{- 1}}$$
