JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2004 - No. 41)

In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases from 0.8 M to 0.4 M in 15 minutes. The time taken for the concentration to change from 0.1 M to 0.025 M is
30 minutes
60 minutes
7.5 minutes
15 minutes

Explanation

As the concentration of reactant decreases from $$0.8$$ to $$0.4$$ in $$15$$ minutes hence the $${t_{1/2}}$$ is $$15$$ minutes. To fall the concentration from $$0.1$$ to $$0.025$$ we need two half lives i.e., $$30$$ minutes.
