In a first order reaction,$87.5 \%$ of the reactant is converted into the product in $15 \ minutes$. The rate constant for the reaction is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{0.693}{5} \ min^{-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{0.693}{15} \ min^{-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{0.693} \ min^{-1}$
  • D
    $0.693 \times 5 \ min^{-1}$

The following results were obtained during kinetic studies of the reaction $2A + B \to$ products:
Experiment $[A]$ $(mol \ L^{-1})$ $[B]$ $(mol \ L^{-1})$ Initial rate $(mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1})$
$I$ $0.10$ $0.20$ $6.93 \times 10^{-3}$
$II$ $0.10$ $0.25$ $6.93 \times 10^{-3}$
$III$ $0.20$ $0.30$ $1.386 \times 10^{-2}$

The time (in minutes) required to consume half of $A$ is:

When the value of rate constant $(k)$ is $2.0 \text{ min}^{-1}$, then what will be the half-life of the reaction $(t_{1/2})$ in seconds?

$A$ first order reaction has a rate constant $1.1 \times 10^{-3} \ s^{-1}$. How long will $6 \ g$ of this reactant take to reduce to $3 \ g$ (in $s$)?

The half-life for the first-order reaction $N_2O_5 \to 2NO_2 + \frac{1}{2} O_2$ is $2.4 \text{ hours}$. Starting with $10.8 \text{ g}$ of $N_2O_5$ at $STP$,how many liters of oxygen will be obtained after a period of $9.6 \text{ hours}$? (Given: $10^{0.2} = 1.584$)
