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
$\frac{1}{t_{1 / 2}}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4+1}{12}=\frac{5}{12}$

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

$\approx 2$

Consider the two different first order reactions given below

$\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}$ (Reaction 1$)$

$\mathrm{P} \rightarrow \mathrm{Q}$ (Reaction $2$)

The ratio of the half life of Reaction $1$ : Reaction $2$ is $5: 2$. If $t_1$ and $t_2$ represent the time taken to complete $2 / 3^{\text {dd }}$ and $4 / 5^{\text {dd }}$ of Reaction $1$ and

Reaction $2$, respectively, then the value of the ratio $\mathrm{t}_1: \mathrm{t}_2$ is . . . .$\times 10^{-1}$ (nearest integer).
