In first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases from $0.8 \mathrm{M}$ to $0.4 \mathrm{M}$ in 15 minutes. The time taken for the concentration to change from $0.1 \mathrm{M}$ to $0.025 \mathrm{M}$ is
  1. 30 minutes
  2. 60 minutes
  3. $7.5$ minutes
  4. 15 minutes

Solution

$\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}=15$ minutes $\therefore$ No. of half lives $s=2$ ( $\therefore$ for change of $0.1$ to $0.025$ ) is 30 minutes
