For a first order reaction A → B, the reaction rate at reactant concentration of 0.01 M is found to be 2.0 x 10-5 mol L-1 s-1. The half life period of the reaction is :

  1. A
    227 s
  2. B
    327 s
  3. C
    527 s
  4. D
    347 s

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To determine the half-life period of the reaction, we need to use the equation for the half-life of a first-order reaction: . We can calculate the rate constant (k) using the equation: . So, let's calculate the rate constant: . Solving for k, we get: . Then, we can calculate the half-life period: . Therefore, the half-life period of the reaction is approximately 347 s.
