Decomposition of 
exhibits a rate constant of 
year. How many years are reguired for the decomposition of 
of 
into 
?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(50)
Given, rate constant 
year
Thus. from the unit of 
, it is clear that the reaction is zero order. Now, we know that
half-life 
for zero order reaction 
where. 
initial concentration.
rate constant
years
Thus. 50 years are required for the decomposition of 
of 
into 
.
