The correct Answer is:
To determine the order of the reaction from the given half-lives at different pressures, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between half-life and order of reaction The half-life (\( t_{1/2} \)) of a reaction is related to the concentration of the reactant and the order of the reaction. For a reaction of order \( n \), the half-life is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} \propto \frac{1}{A^{(n-1)}} \] where \( A \) is the concentration (or pressure in this case). ### Step 2: Set up the ratios of half-lives and pressures From the problem, we have: - At 50 torr, \( t_{1/2} = 3.64 \) hours - At 100 torr, \( t_{1/2} = 1.82 \) hours We can write the relationship as: \[ \frac{t_{1/2,1}}{t_{1/2,2}} = \frac{A_2^{(n-1)}}{A_1^{(n-1)}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \frac{3.64}{1.82} = \frac{100^{(n-1)}}{50^{(n-1)}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the ratio of half-lives Calculating the left side: \[ \frac{3.64}{1.82} = 2 \] ### Step 4: Express the pressure ratio Now we can express the right side: \[ 2 = \frac{100^{(n-1)}}{50^{(n-1)}} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 = \left(\frac{100}{50}\right)^{(n-1)} = 2^{(n-1)} \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( n \) Taking logarithm on both sides or equating the exponents: \[ 2 = 2^{(n-1)} \] This implies: \[ n - 1 = 1 \implies n = 2 \] ### Conclusion The order of the reaction is \( n = 2 \), meaning it is a second-order reaction.
