The following results were obtained during kinetic studies of the reaction products
Experiment (in mol L) (in mol L)Initial rate of reaction (in )
I0.100.20
II0.100.25
III0.200.30

The time (in minutes) required to consume half of is
  1. (A)5
  2. (B)10✓ Correct
  3. (C)1
  4. (D)100

Answer: (B)

Solution

Compare the experiments to read off the orders. Experiments I and II change yet leave the rate untouched, so the order in is zero. Experiments I and III show the rate doubling when doubles, so the order in is one, and the rate law is . From experiment I, min. For a first-order reaction the half-life is minutes.
