Question

In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant, decreases from 0.8 M to 0.4 M in 15 m i n u t e s . The time taken for the concentration to change from 0.1 M to 0.025 M is -, 30 m i n u t e s, 15 m i n u t e s, 7.5 m i n u t e s, 60 m i n u t e s

0.1 M → t 1 / 2 0.05 M → t 1 / 2 0.025 M for the I st order reaction :- t 3 / 4 = 2 × t 1 / 2 = 2 × 15 = 30 minute successive half lives in first order reactions remain constant irrespective of initial concentration.
