The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many times the half-life (T_half) is required for 93.75% of a first-order reaction to occur. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - We are dealing with a first-order reaction. - We need to find the time required for 93.75% of the reaction to occur in terms of the half-life (T_half). 2. **Calculating the Remaining Concentration**: - If 93.75% of the reaction has occurred, then the remaining concentration (A - x) is: \[ A - x = A - 0.9375A = 0.0625A \] - If we assume the initial concentration (A) is 100, then: \[ A - x = 100 - 93.75 = 6.25 \] 3. **Using the First-Order Kinetics Equation**: - The time (t) for a first-order reaction can be calculated using the formula: \[ t = \frac{2.303}{k} \log\left(\frac{A}{A - x}\right) \] - Substituting the values: \[ t = \frac{2.303}{k} \log\left(\frac{100}{6.25}\right) \] 4. **Calculating the Logarithm**: - We can simplify \(\frac{100}{6.25}\): \[ \frac{100}{6.25} = 16 \] - Thus, we need to calculate: \[ t = \frac{2.303}{k} \log(16) \] 5. **Using Logarithmic Properties**: - We know that \(16 = 2^4\), so: \[ \log(16) = \log(2^4) = 4 \log(2) \] - Therefore, we can rewrite t as: \[ t = \frac{2.303}{k} \cdot 4 \log(2) \] 6. **Relating to Half-Life**: - The half-life (T_half) for a first-order reaction is given by: \[ T_{half} = \frac{0.693}{k} \] - Substituting this into the equation for t: \[ t = 4 \cdot \frac{0.693}{k} \cdot \log(2) \] - Since \( \log(2) \approx 0.301\), we can express t in terms of T_half: \[ t = 4 \cdot T_{half} \] 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the time required for 93.75% of the reaction to occur is 4 times the half-life: \[ x = 4 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \(x\) is \(4\). ---
