Statement: `500 mg` of an isotope becomes `250mg` in `120` minute. Therefore `100mg` of the isotpe will becomes `50mg` in 24 minute.
Explanation: The process fo radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

A

`S` is correct but `E` is wrong.

B

`S` is wrong but `E` is correct.

C

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.

D

Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`b`
Assertion is wrong. Half-life period of a `1^(st)` order reaction does not depend on the concentration of reactants.

The vapour pressure to two miscible liquids (A) and (B) are 300 and 500 mm of Hg respectively. In a flask 10 mole of (A) is mixed with 12 mole of (B). However, as soon as (B) is added, (A) starts polymerising into a completely insoluble solid. The polymerisation follows first-order kinetics. After 100 minutes, 0.525 mole of a solute is dissolved which arrests the polymerisation completely. The final vapour pressure of the solution is 400 mm of Hg. Estimate the rate constant of the polymerisation reaction. Assume negligible volume change on mixing and polymerisation and ideal behaviour for the final solution.

In a 5 L container,3 moles of A are taken and it immediately starts decomposing with half-life of 10 minutes. After 10min, 3 moles of B are added which undergoes independent decomposition as A with half-life of 5 minutes. If both decompositions follow first order kinetics then how many minutes it will take for the concentration of A and B to become same from the time of start of decomposition of A ?

N_(2)O_(5) decomposes to NO_(2) and O_(2) and follows first order kinetics. After 50 minutes the pressure inside the vessel increases from 50 mm Hg to 87.5 mmHg . The pressure of the gaseous mixture afte 100 minute at constant temperature will be :
