\( 80 \% \) of a first order reaction was completed in 70 min. How much it will take for \( 90 \% \) completion of a reaction?
- 114 min
- 140 min
- \( 100 \mathrm{min} \)
- 200 min
Correct answer: 114 min
Solution
For a first-order reaction, time depends on the logarithm of the fraction remaining. Since 80% completion means 20% remains after 70 min, you can determine the rate constant and then calculate the time for 10% remaining. This gives about 114 min.
