Explanation

JEE Main 2024 (Online) 1st February Evening Shift Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics and Nuclear Chemistry Question 33 English Explanation
$\begin{aligned} & 0.1+2 \mathrm{x}=0.28 \\\\ & 2 \mathrm{x}=0.18 \\\\ & \mathrm{x}=0.09 \\\\ & \mathrm{~K}=\frac{1}{115} \ln \frac{0.1}{0.1-0.09} \\\\ & =0.0200 \mathrm{sec}^{-1} \\\\ & =2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\end{aligned}$
