For the thermal decomposition of reactant AB(g), the following plot is constructed. [figure] The half-life of the reaction is 'x' min. x = min. (Nearest integer)

Answer

10

Solution

[AB] decreases linearly with time zero order reaction: [AB] = [AB]0 - kt

From the plot: [AB]0 = 0.6 M

k = -slope = 0.55 - 0.5200 - 100 = 5 10-4 M s-1

For zero order: t1/2 = [AB]02k

t1/2 = 0.62 5 10-4 = 600 s

t1/2 = 60060 = 10 min

Answer: 10

A person's wound was exposed to some bacteria and then bacterial growth started to happen at the same place. The wound was later treated with some antibacterial medicine and the rate of bacterial decay (r) was found to be proportional with the square of the existing number of bacteria at any instance. Which of the following set of graphs correctly represents the 'before' and 'after' situation of the application of the medicine? [Given: N = No. of bacteria, t = time, bacterial growth follows 1st order kinetics.]
