2) the rate of a 1st order reaction is 0.08 mol/l/s at 10 mins and 0.03 mol/l/s at 20 mins after initiation. the half life of the reaction is?
a)3/log(8/3)
b) log(3/8)/3
c)3+log(3/8)
d)log(8/3)/3

1)
lnK=lnA-Ea/RT
lnK1=lnA-E1/RT
lnK2=lnA-E2/RT

ln(K2/K1)=(E1-E2)/RT

E1-E2=RTln2

From the radioactive decay law,R=R0e-kt
where R0 is the initial decay rate.
now substitute the given values of rates given at the 2 given times.
0.08=R0e-10k ....(1)
0.03=R0e-20k ....(2)
dividing (1) by (2),we get
e10k=8/3
=>k=1/10 ln (8/3) =1/10 *(2.303 log (8/3))
also t1/2=0.693/k =0.693/0.23 log (8/3)
therefore t1/2=3/log (8/3)

RATE=K[CONC.]

C1C2=83

2.303/K*log[c1c2]=10

now t(half)=ln2/k.........

get A as ans
