The correct Answer is:
To determine the order of the reaction based on the given half-lives at different pressures, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the relationship between half-life and initial concentration (or pressure) The half-life (\(t_{1/2}\)) of a reaction is related to the initial concentration (\(A_0\)) and the order of the reaction (\(n\)) by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} \propto \frac{1}{A_0^{(n-1)}} \] This means that the half-life is inversely proportional to the initial concentration raised to the power of \(n-1\). ### Step 2: Set up the ratio of half-lives Given: - At 50 torr, \(t_{1/2} = 3.64\) hours - At 100 torr, \(t_{1/2} = 1.82\) hours We can set up the ratio of the half-lives: \[ \frac{t_{1/2,1}}{t_{1/2,2}} = \frac{3.64}{1.82} \] And the corresponding pressures: \[ \frac{A_{0,1}}{A_{0,2}} = \frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Substitute into the half-life relationship Substituting into the relationship gives us: \[ \frac{3.64}{1.82} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{(1-n)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the left side Calculating the left side: \[ \frac{3.64}{1.82} = 2 \] ### Step 5: Set up the equation Now we have: \[ 2 = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{(1-n)} \] ### Step 6: Rewrite the equation Rewriting the equation: \[ 2 = 2^{-1+n} \] ### Step 7: Equate the exponents Since the bases are the same, we can equate the exponents: \[ 1 = -1 + n \] ### Step 8: Solve for \(n\) Solving for \(n\): \[ n = 2 \] ### Conclusion The order of the reaction is \(2\). ---
