JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 2nd April Morning Shift - No. 21)

For the reaction A $\to$ products.

JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Morning Shift Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics and Nuclear Chemistry Question 12 English

The concentration of A at 10 minutes is _________ $\times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$ (nearest integer). The reaction was started with $2.5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$ of A .

Answer
2435

Explanation

Order of Reaction:

Since $ t_{1/2} \propto [A]_0 $, the reaction follows a zero-order kinetics.

Half-life Equation for Zero-order Reaction:

The half-life ($ t_{1/2} $) is calculated as:

$ t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2K} $

Given the slope from the graph is $76.92$, which equals $\frac{1}{2K}$. This implies:

$ K = \frac{1}{2 \times 76.92} $

Concentration of A at 10 Minutes:

Apply the zero-order kinetics equation:

$ [A]_{10} = -Kt + [A]_0 $

Substituting the values:

$ [A]_{10} = -\left(\frac{1}{2 \times 76.92}\right) \times 10 + 2.5 = 2.435 \ \text{mol L}^{-1} $

Final Concentration:

Convert to scientific notation:

$ [A]_{10} = 2435 \times 10^{-3} \ \text{mol L}^{-1} $

Thus, the concentration of A at 10 minutes is approximately $ 2435 \times 10^{-3} \ \text{mol L}^{-1} $.
