JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2009 - No. 18)

The half life period of a first order chemical reaction is 6.93 minutes. The time required for the completion of 99% of the chemical reaction will be (log 2=0.301) :
230.3 minutes
23.03 minutes
46.06 minutes
460.6 minutes

Explanation

For first order reaction

$$k = {{2.303} \over t}\log {{100} \over {100 - 99}}$$

$${{0.693} \over {6.93}} = {{2.303} \over t}\log {{100} \over 1}$$

$${{0.693} \over {6.93}} = {{2.303 \times 2} \over t}$$

$$ \Rightarrow t = 46.06\min $$
