JEE Main 2025 (Online) 7th April Morning Shift Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics and Nuclear Chemistry Question 8 English Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_{\infty}=3 \mathrm{P}_0=240 \\ & \quad \mathrm{P}_0=80 \mathrm{~mm} \text { of } \mathrm{Hg} \\ & \mathrm{Kt}=\ln \left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\infty}-\mathrm{P}_0}{\mathrm{P}_{\infty}-\mathrm{Pt}}\right) \\ & \mathrm{K} \times 10=\ln \left(\frac{240-80}{240-160}\right) \\ & \mathrm{K}=\frac{\ln 2}{10}=0.0693 \mathrm{~min}^{-1} \end{aligned}\\ &\text { Option (3) is incorrect } \end{aligned}$$
