DDT on exposure to water decomposes. Half-life is 10 yr. How much time it will take for its decomposition to 99%?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
70 Yr
Option B (70 Yr) is correct because it is the approximate time calculated using the first-order kinetics equation for 99% decomposition.
