Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12th Chemistry - Chapter Chemical Kinetics. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 2, Question 25: sucrose decomposes in acid solution into glucose a....
Question 25

Sucrose decomposes in acid solution into glucose and fructose according to the first order rate law, with t1/2 = 3.00 hours. What fraction of sample of sucrose remains after 8 hours?

Answer

For a first order reaction,

k = 2.303/t  Log  [R]º / [R]

It is given that, t1/2 = 3.00 hours

Therefore, k = 0.693 / t1/2

= 0.693 / 3  h-1

= 0.231 h - 1

Then, 0.231 h - 1 = 2.303 / 8h  Log  [R]º / [R]

Hence, the fraction of sample of sucrose that remains after 8 hours is 0.158.
