A flask contains a mixture of compounds

A

and

B.

Both compounds decompose by first-order kinetics. The half-life for

A

and

B

are 300 s and 180 s, respectively. If the concentrations of

A

and

B

are equal initially, the time required for the concentration of

A

to be four times that of

B

(in s) is (Use ln

2 = 0.693)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

900

Option D (900) is correct because it is the time calculated using first-order kinetics equations where the concentration of A is four times that of B.
