Answer:
1.668 S
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
[tex]A\rightarrow[/tex]Product
For first order reaction,
[tex]t=\frac{1}{k}ln\frac{A_0}{A}[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_0}{A}[/tex]
Rate constant=k=[tex]0.740s^{-1}[/tex]
Temperature=[tex]T=400^{\circ}[/tex]
We have to find the time taken by the reaction when concentration of A to decrease from 0.790 M to 0.230 M.
[tex]A_0=0.79 M[/tex]
[tex]A=0.230[/tex]
Substitute the values then we get
[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{0.740}log\frac{0.79}{0.23}[/tex]
[tex]t=1.668 s[/tex]
Hence, it would take 1.668 s for the concentration of A to decrease from 0.790 M to 0.230 M.
