Q5 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2018 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

For a first order reaction A(g) → 2B(g) + C(g) at constant volume and 300 K, the total pressure at the beginning (t = 0) and at time are  P0 and P0, respectively. Initially, only A is present with concentration  A0, and  t13  is the time required for the partial pressure of A to reach 1/3rd of its initial value. The correct option(s) is (are)
(Assume that all these gases behave as ideal gases)

Solution

                     A→2B+C
t=0P0- -t=tP0-P2P  P
P0+2P=Pt
K=1tln⁡P0P0-P=1tln⁡P0P0-Pt-P02
K=1tln⁡2P03P0-Pt⇒-Kt+ln⁡2P0=ln⁡3P0-Pt
And t13=1Kln⁡P0 P03=1Kln⁡3= contant
Rate constant does not depends on concentration

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'D'.
