Solution
The correct option is D 1 The reaction is 50% complete in 53 minutes. Thus half life period is 53 minutes. The reaction is 73% complete in 100 minutes. The reaction will b 73% complete in approximately 106 minutes. The half life period is independent of the concentration. Hence, the reaction is of first order.
