Q17 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

r=kA for a reaction, 50% of A is decomposed in 120 minutes. The time taken for 90% decomposition of A is ______ minutes.

Correct answer: 399

Solution

r=kA

So, order of reaction =1

t1/2=120 min

k=0.693t1/2

For 90% completion of reaction,

⇒k=2.303tlogaa−xa=100,(a-x)=10

By putting the values in above equation,

⇒0.693t1/2=2.303tlog10010

∴ t=399 min

Hence, the correct answer is 399.
