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 P1, 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

                     A2B+C
t=0P0- -t=tP0-P2P  P
P0+2P=Pt
K=1tlnP0P0-P=1tlnP0P0-Pt-P02
K=1tln2P03P0-Pt-Kt+ln2P0=ln3P0-Pt
And t13=1KlnP0 P03=1Kln3= contant
Rate constant does not depends on concentration
