In a first-order reaction of the type: $A_{(g)} \to 2B_{(g)}$,the initial pressure is $P_i$ and the total pressure at time $t$ is $P_t$. The rate constant $k$ can be expressed as:

  • A
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_i}{2P_i - P_t}$
  • B
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_i}{P_i - P_t}$
  • C
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_i}{P_t - P_i}$
  • D
    $k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_i}{P_t}$
