MCQ
A molecule undergoes two independent first order reactions whose respective half lives are $12\,min$ and $3\,min$. If both the reactions are occurring then the time taken for the $50 \%$ consumption of the reactant is $..........\,\min$ (Nearest integer)
  • A
    $4$
  • $2$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2$
b
$\frac{1}{t_{1 / 2}}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4+1}{12}=\frac{5}{12}$

$t_{1 / 2}=\frac{12}{5} min =2.4$

$\approx 2$

Given below are two statements:

Statement $I$ : The boiling point of three isomeric pentanes follows the order

n-pentane $>$ isopentane $>$ neopentane

Statement $II$ : When branching increases, the molecule attains a shape of sphere. This results in smaller surface area for contact, due to which the intermolecular forces between the spherical molecules are weak, thereby lowering the boiling point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
