Question

In a hypothetical reaction, A(aq)2B(aq)+C(aq) (1st order decomposition)
'A' is optically active (dextro-rotatory) while 'B' and 'C' are optically inactive but 'B' takes part in a titration reaction (fast reaction) with H2O2. Hence the progress of reaction can be monitored by measuring rotation of plane of polarised light or by measuring volume of H2O2 consumed in titration.

In an experiment, the optical rotation was found to be θ=30o at t=20 min. and θ=15o at t=50 min. from start of the reaction. If the progress would have been monitored by titration method, volume of H2O2 consumed at t=30. If the progress would have been monitored by titration method, volume of H2O2 consumed at t=30 min. (from start) is 30 ml then volume of H2O2 consumed at t=90 min. will be:

A
60 ml

Solution

The correct option is C 52.5 ml
Only A is optically active.
Hence, the concentration of A at t=20 min 30o and the concentration of A at t=50 min15o
Thus in 30 min, the concentration decreases to half. So 30 min is the half-life period.
Thus, at t=30 min=t1/2, the volume of hydrogen peroxide consumed corresponds to 50% production of B.
t=90 min corresponds to three 30 min. The production of B is 87.5%.
Thus volume consumed (30 ml)+(302 ml)+(304) ml=52.5 ml
