The rate constant for a first order reaction is $20 \min ^{-1}$ The time required for the initial concentration of the reactant to reduce to its $\frac{1}{32}$ level is ___$\times 10^{-2} \min$ (Nearest integer)
(Given: $\ln 10=2.303$ $\log 2=0.3010$ )
The integrated rate equation for a first order reaction is:
\[ \ln \left( \frac{C_0}{C} \right) = kt \]
Where \( C_0 \) is the initial concentration, \( C \) is the concentration at time \( t \), \( k \) is the rate constant, and \( t \) is the time.
For the reaction to reduce to \( \frac{1}{32} \) of its original concentration, we have:
\[ \frac{C}{C_0} = \frac{1}{32} \]
Taking the natural logarithm:
\[ \ln \left( \frac{C_0}{C} \right) = \ln 32 = 5 \ln 2 = 5 \times 0.693 = 3.465 \]
Thus, the time \( t \) is:
\[ t = \frac{3.465}{k} = \frac{3.465}{20} = 0.17325 \, \text{min} \]
Therefore, the time required for the concentration to reduce to \( \frac{1}{32} \) is \( 17.325 \times 10^{-2} \) min.

Chemical kinetics is the description of the rate of a chemical reaction. This is the rate at which the reactants are transformed into products. This may take place by abiotic or by biological systems, such as microbial metabolism.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time. To be more specific, it can be expressed in terms of: (i) the rate of decrease in the concentration of any one of the reactants, or (ii) the rate of increase in concentration of any one of the products. Consider a hypothetical reaction, assuming that the volume of the system remains constant. R → P
