For a first order reaction A → Products, initial concentration of A is 0 . 1 M , which becomes 0 . 001 M…

For a first order reaction A Products, initial concentration of A is 0.1 M, which becomes 0.001 M after 5 minutes. Rate constant for the reaction in min-1 is
  1. 0.9212
  2. 0.4606
  3. 0.2303
  4. 1.3818

Solution

The integrated rate equation for a first order reaction is given by 

k=2.303tlogaa-x

Where 

k=Rate constanta=initial concentration of the reactantsa-x=concentration of reactants left after time, t.

k=2.3035log0.10.001    =4.6065=0.9212 min-1

Hence, the rate constant of the given reaction is 0.9212 min-1
