Solution

Given: [A]0 = 100%, k = 1.386 min–1

To find: Time required for 80% reactant to decompose

Formula: t = `2.303/"k" log_10  ["A"]_"o"/["A"]_"t"`

Calculations: The reactant is 80% decomposed. Hence, [A]t = 20%.

t = `2.303/"k" log_10  ["A"]_"o"/["A"]_"t"`

Substituting the values,

t = `2.303/(1.386  "min"^-1) log_10  100/20`

= `2.303/(1.386  "min"^-1) xx 0.69897`

= 1.16 min × `(60  "s")/(1  "min")`

= 69.6 s

Time required for reducing concentration of reactant to 20 % is 1.16 min or 69.6 s.
