Question
For a first order reaction, show that time required for 99% completion is twice the time required for the completion of 90% of reaction.
✓

Answer

For a first order reaction, the time required for 99% completion is
$\text{t}_1=\frac{2.303}{\text{k}}\text{log}\frac{100}{100-99}$
$=\frac{2.303}{\text{k}}\text{log}{100}$
$=2\times\frac{2.303}{\text{k}}$
For a first order reaction, the time required for 90% completion is
$\text{t}_2=\frac{2.303}{\text{k}}\text{log}\frac{100}{100-99}$
$=\frac{2.303}{\text{k}}\text{log}{10}$
$=\frac{2.303}{\text{k}}$
Therefore, t1 = 2t2
Hence, the time required for 99% completion of a first order reaction is twice the time required for the completion of 90% of the reaction.

CCl4 and water are immiscible whereas ethanol and water are miscible in all proportions. Correlate this behaviour with molecular structure of these compounds.CCl4 is a non-polar covalent compound, whereas water is a polar compound. CCl4 can neither form hydrogen bonds with water molecules nor can it break hydrogen bonds between water molecule, therefore, it is insoluble in water. Ethanol is a polar compound and can form hydrogen bonds with water, which is a polar solvent, therefore it is miscible with water in all proportions.
