Test: Zero Order & First Order Reactions - Question 13

A G .M. Counter is used to study the process of first order of radioactive disintegration. In the absence of radioactive substance A, it counts 3 dps (disintegration per second). When A is placed in G.M Counter it records 23 dps at the start and 13 dps after 10 min. It records x dps after next 10 min. Half-life period of A is y min. Thus, x and y are

Detailed Solution: Question 13

When there is no radioactive substance in G.M. Counter, it records = 3 dps. Thus, it is the zero-error in the counter and in each it is added. Thus, initial counts = 23 - 3 = 20 dps.
Attimef (after 10min) = 13- 3 = 10dps
Thus, half-life is 10 min = y
Hence, after next 10 min, dps = 5
Hence, reading in G.M. Counter = 5 + 3 = 8 dps = x

Test: Zero Order & First Order Reactions - Question 14

Inversion of sucrose (C12H22O11) is a first order reaction and is studied by measuring angle of rotation at different interval of time

r0 = angle of rotation at the start, rt = angle of rotation at time t
r = angle of rotation at the complete reaction

There is 50% inversion, when

Detailed Solution: Question 14

r0 = rotation at the start, rt = rotation at time t
r = rotation at the end then (r - r0) = a and (r - rt) = (a - x)

When 50% inversion has taken place


∴  2 (a - x) = a
2(r - rt) = r - r0
2r - 2rt = r - r0
∴  r0 = (2rt - r)
