The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding a first-order reaction, we will analyze each of the provided options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding First Order Reactions**: A first-order reaction can be represented as: \[ A \rightarrow P \] The rate of the reaction depends linearly on the concentration of the reactant \( A \). 2. **Rate Law and Integrated Rate Equation**: The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is given by: \[ \ln \left( \frac{[A]_0}{[A]} \right) = kt \] Rearranging gives: \[ [A] = [A]_0 e^{-kt} \] 3. **Degree of Dissociation**: The degree of dissociation \( \alpha \) can be defined as the fraction of the reactant that has reacted. If \( [A]_0 \) is the initial concentration and \( [A] \) is the concentration at time \( t \), we can express: \[ [A] = [A]_0 (1 - \alpha) \] Substituting this into the integrated rate equation: \[ [A]_0 e^{-kt} = [A]_0 (1 - \alpha) \] Dividing both sides by \( [A]_0 \) gives: \[ e^{-kt} = 1 - \alpha \] Rearranging this yields: \[ \alpha = 1 - e^{-kt} \] 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: The degree of dissociation is equal to \( 1 - e^{-kt} \). - **Correct**: This matches our derived expression for \( \alpha \). - **Option 2**: Plot of reciprocal concentration of reactant versus time is a straight line. - **Incorrect**: For first-order reactions, the plot of concentration vs. time is not linear; it is an exponential decay. - **Option 3**: Time taken for completion of 75% of the reactant is half of the reaction time. - **Incorrect**: The half-life of a first-order reaction is independent of the initial concentration and is given by \( t_{1/2} = \frac{\ln 2}{k} \). It does not depend on the percentage of completion. - **Option 4**: The pre-exponential factor of the Arrhenius equation has the dimension of time \( T^{-1} \). - **Correct**: The rate constant \( k \) for a first-order reaction has units of \( T^{-1} \), and since \( k = A e^{-E_a/RT} \), the pre-exponential factor \( A \) must also have units of \( T^{-1} \). 5. **Final Conclusion**: The correct options are **1 and 4**.
