At 30 °C, the half life for the decomposition of AB2 is 200 s and is independent of the initial concentration of AB2. The time required for 80% of the AB2 to decompose is (Given: log2=0.30log3=0.48)
  1. 200s
  2. 323s
  3. 467s
  4. 532s

Solution

Since half life is independent of intial concentration of the reactant, it's a first order reaction

k=ln 2t12
kt=2.303 logA0A

ln 2t12t=2.303 logA0A

2.303 log 2200t=2.303 log10020

t=2000.3×log 5=466.67 sec467 sec
