Consider the first order reaction R P. The fraction of molecules decomposed in the given first order reaction can be expressed as
- 1 - ek1t
- 1 + ek1t
- 1 + e-k1t
- 1 - e-k1t
Answer
(4) 1 - e-k1t
Solution
Integrated rate law of a first order reaction: [R]0[R] = k1t
⇒ [R] = [R]0 e-k1t
Fraction decomposed = [R]0 - [R][R]0
= 1 - [R][R]0 = 1 - e-k1t
Answer: (4)
