At 100∘C the gaseous reaction A→2B+C was observed to be of first order. On starting with pure A it is found that at the end of 10 minutes the total pressure of system is 176mm.Hg and after a long time 270mm Hg.
Initial pressure of A is:

Solution
The correct option is A 90mm After long time the dissociation of A is complete. The dissociation of one mole of A gives 3 moles of products. At this time, total pressure is 270mm Hg. Hence, the initial pressure of A=2703=90mm.
