Reaction rate of a first order reaction, which is half completed in 23 minutes will be _________________?

Correct answer: B. 0.03 min-1

  • A. 0.03 sec-1
  • B. 0.03 min-1
  • C. 0.03 hr-1
  • D. 0.05 min-1

Explanation

For a first-order reaction, the half-life relation is k = 0.693/t₁/₂. Thus k = 0.693/23 = 0.030 min⁻¹, making option b correct.
