The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding first-order reactions, we will analyze each of the options provided and determine their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 The statement is: "The degree of dissociation (α) is equal to 1 minus e raised to the power of -kt." 1. **Understanding Degree of Dissociation**: For a first-order reaction, the degree of dissociation (α) is defined as the fraction of the reactant that has reacted. 2. **Using the First-Order Reaction Formula**: The relationship can be derived from the first-order kinetics equation: \[ k = \frac{1}{T} \log \frac{1}{1 - \alpha} \] Rearranging gives: \[ kt = \log \frac{1}{1 - \alpha} \] Taking the antilogarithm results in: \[ e^{-kt} = 1 - \alpha \] Thus, we can express α as: \[ \alpha = 1 - e^{-kt} \] 3. **Conclusion for Option 1**: This confirms that Option 1 is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 The statement is: "A plot of reciprocal concentration of reactant versus time graph gives a straight line." 1. **Understanding the Plot**: For first-order reactions, the concentration of reactants decreases exponentially over time. 2. **Correct Plot Type**: The correct plot for a first-order reaction is a plot of the natural logarithm of concentration versus time, which gives a straight line, not the reciprocal concentration. 3. **Conclusion for Option 2**: This statement is incorrect. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 The statement is: "The time taken for the completion of 75% reaction is thrice the half-life of the reaction." 1. **Calculating Time for 75% Completion**: - For 75% completion, we use the formula: \[ t_{75\%} = \frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{100}{25} = \frac{2.303}{k} \log 4 \] 2. **Calculating Time for 50% Completion**: - For 50% completion (half-life): \[ t_{50\%} = \frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{100}{50} = \frac{2.303}{k} \log 2 \] 3. **Comparing Times**: - Dividing the two times: \[ \frac{t_{75\%}}{t_{50\%}} = \frac{\log 4}{\log 2} = 2 \] This means that the time taken for 75% completion is 2 times the half-life, not 3 times. 4. **Conclusion for Option 3**: This statement is incorrect. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 The statement is: "The pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation has dimensions of time (t inverse)." 1. **Understanding the Arrhenius Equation**: The Arrhenius equation is given by: \[ k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \] where A is the pre-exponential factor. 2. **Units of Rate Constant (k)**: For a first-order reaction, the units of k are s^-1 (time inverse). 3. **Conclusion for Option 4**: The pre-exponential factor A does not have dimensions of time; it is a frequency factor. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Correct Options**: Option 1 is correct. - **Incorrect Options**: Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect.

To solve the question regarding first-order reactions, we will analyze each of the options provided and determine their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 The statement is: "The degree of dissociation (α) is equal to 1 minus e raised to the power of -kt." 1. **Understanding Degree of Dissociation**: For a first-order reaction, the degree of dissociation (α) is defined as the fraction of the reactant that has reacted. 2. **Using the First-Order Reaction Formula**: The relationship can be derived from the first-order kinetics equation: \[ ...
