Answer: 2.58 days
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = age of sample = 6 days
a = initial amount of the reactant = 1 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.2 g
a) to find the rate constant
b) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
The half life is 2.58 days
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Half life = 30 min
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that:
The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹
Initial concentration = 7.50 mg
Final concentration = 0.25 mg
Time = ?
Applying in the above equation, we get that:-
