Question

Half-life for the zero order reaction, $A\left(g\right)⟶B\left(g\right)+C\left(g\right)$ and half-life for the first order reaction $X\left(g\right)⟶Y\left(g\right)+Z\left(g\right)$ are equal. If completion time for the zero order reaction is $13.86$ min, then calculate the rate constant (in ${hr}^{-1})$ for the reaction $X\left(g\right)⟶Y\left(g\right)+Z\left(g\right)$.

( If the answer is X, write 10X)

Answer 1

As half life is equal, so, $\frac{0.693}{k}=\frac{a_0}{2k_0}$
$t_{comp}=\frac{a_0}{k_0}=13.86min$
$\frac{0.693}{k}=\frac{13.86}{2}$
$k=0.1h{r}^{-}$
