 t12[B]=2t12[C]
Let after time “t”,  [C]=2[A]
                          B=x%
Question Image
C is formed at twice the rate of formation of B, the rate constant for decay of A is  
K=K1+K2 =0.6939+0.6934.5 =0.6933=ln23 [C]=2[A] 2x=2(1003x) 4x=100 x=25 Kt=lnaax ln23×t=ln1001003x ln  2t3=ln  1001003x 2t3=1001003x 2t3=10025=4 2t3=22 t/3=2 t = 6
