The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about first-order reactions, we will analyze each statement one by one and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Degree of Dissociation**: - The degree of dissociation (α) for a first-order reaction can be expressed as: \[ \alpha = 1 - e^{-kt} \] - This means that the first statement, which states that the degree of dissociation is equal to \(1 - e^{-k}\), is correct. 2. **Analyzing the Plot of Reciprocal Concentration vs. Time**: - For a first-order reaction, the concentration of reactant A at time t is given by: \[ [A] = [A_0] e^{-kt} \] - The reciprocal concentration versus time would be: \[ \frac{1}{[A]} = \frac{1}{[A_0] e^{-kt}} = \frac{e^{kt}}{[A_0]} \] - This relationship is not linear; hence, the second statement is incorrect. 3. **Time for 75% Completion of Reaction**: - If 75% of the reaction is complete, then 25% of the reactant remains. The concentration can be expressed as: \[ [A] = \frac{[A_0]}{4} \] - The time taken for 75% completion can be calculated using the half-life formula. The half-life (t½) for a first-order reaction is: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} \] - The time for 75% completion is actually twice the half-life: \[ t_{75\%} = 2 \times t_{1/2} \] - Therefore, the third statement is also incorrect. 4. **Units of the Rate Constant (k)**: - For a first-order reaction, the unit of the rate constant (k) is time inverse (e.g., s⁻¹). - The unit of the rate of reaction (A) is also time inverse since it is related to the change in concentration over time. - Thus, the fourth statement is correct. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements regarding the first-order reaction are: - Statement A: Correct - Statement B: Incorrect - Statement C: Incorrect - Statement D: Correct ### Final Answer: The correct statements are A and D.

To solve the question regarding the statements about first-order reactions, we will analyze each statement one by one and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Degree of Dissociation**: - The degree of dissociation (α) for a first-order reaction can be expressed as: \[ \alpha = 1 - e^{-kt} ...
