Question:medium

The initial pressure of the system for the reaction \[ A(g) \rightarrow B(g)+C(g) \] was \(P_i\). Total pressure at time \(t\) is \(P_t\). The rate constant \(k\) is:

Show Hint

Always calculate the partial pressure of the reactant first before substituting into the first-order rate equation.

  • \( \displaystyle k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{P_i}{2P_i-P_t} \)
  • \( \displaystyle k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{P_i}{P_i-P_t} \)
  • \( \displaystyle k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{P_t}{P_i} \)
  • \( \displaystyle k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{2P_t}{P_i} \)
