Options:
  • A \( 1.26 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s} \)
  • B \( 2.52 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s} \)
  • C \( 2.52 \times 10^{28} \mathrm{~s} \)
  • D infinite

The correct answer is: infinite

It is impossible to perform 100% of the reaction, whole of the substance never react. Hence, time taken for 100% completion of a reaction is infinite. 

t=1kln(N0(N0-x)),N0-x=0,t=1k×Infinity

So, time taken is infinite to complete the reaction.
