Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1.(c)

Solution:

(c) For a first order reaction

Total time T = no. of half lives

Give $N_0$ (Original amount) = $1.28 mg/l$

N (amount of substance left after time T) = $ 0.04 {~mg}L^{-1} $

$\begin{aligned} \therefore \frac{0.04}{1.28} & =\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} ; \frac{1}{32}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} ;\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^5=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} \\ n & =5 \\ T & =5 \times 138=690\end{aligned}$
