AandBdecompose via first order kinetics with half-lives54.0 minand18.0 minrespectively. Starting from an equimolar non-reactive mixture ofAandB, the time taken for the concentration ofAto become16times that ofBis ______min. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Answer:
108.00
Solution:

Given A=t1/2=54 min

B=t1/2=18 min

t=0 'x' M     t=0 'xM

To calculate : At=16×Bt time =?

 For I order kinetic : At=A02n

n no. of Half lives

 Now from the relation (1)

x2n1=x2n2×162n2=2n1×24

n2=n1+4tt1/22=tt1/21+4

t118-154=4t=4×18×5436

t=108 min
