A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.01155 min^{-1 . What percentage of the reactant remains after 90 minutes
Given: A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.01155 min^{-1 . What percentage of the reactant remains after 90 minutes? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: ln frac[R]_0[R] = k t = 0.01155 × 90 = 1.0395. This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: frac[R][R]_0 = e^{-1.0395 = 0.3536 approx 35% . Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
