    NUMERICAL PROBLEMS

    1) Time required to decompose SO2Cl2 to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the
    decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.

    2) 1.0 g of strontium – 90 was reduced to 0.953 g after two years. Calculate the half-life
    period of strontium – 90.

    3) The half-life of a first order reaction is 30 min.


    (i) Calculate the specific rate constant of the reaction.
    (ii) What fraction of the reactant remains after 70 min?
    (iii) How long would be required for 25% of the reactant to be decomposed?

    4) The reaction SO2Cl2 ⇌ SO2 + Cl2 is a first order gas reaction with 𝑡1/2 = 3.15 × 104 S at
    320 ̊ C. What percentage of SO2Cl2 is decomposed on heating this gas for 90 minutes?

    5) In a first order reaction, ten percent of the reactant is consumed in 25 minutes. What is the
    half-life time of the reaction? How much time will it take for 19 percent and 75 percent of the
    reaction to take place?

    6) The rate constant of a first order reaction is 2.31 × 10-2 s-1. What will be the time required
    for the initial concentration, 0.1 M, of the reactant to be reduced to 0.05?

    7) The half-life for radioactive decay of 14Cl is 5730 years. An archaeological artifact contained
    wood that had only 80% of the 14C in a living tree. Estimate the age of the sample.

    8) Show that the time required for the completion of 75% of a reaction of first order is twice the
    time required for completion of 50% of the reaction.

    9) During nuclear explosion, one of the products is 90Sr with half life of 28.1 year. If 1μg of 90Sr
    was absorbed in bones of a newly born baby instead of calcium, how much of it will remain
    after 10 years and 60 years if it is not lost metabolically?

    10) The rate constant of a first order reaction is 60 s-1. How much time will it take to reduce the
    initial concentration of the reactant to its 1/ 16 th value?

    ANSWERS

    1) 1.925 × 10-4 s-1 2) 28.87 year

    6) 30 sec 7) 1844 years 8) 2

    9) 0.2278 μg 10) 4.62 × 10--2
