2. 125 K
3. 150 K
4. 200 K

2A k B is a zero-order reaction, where k = 1.0 mol L-1 min-1. If the initial concentration of A is 2 M, then the time taken to complete 75\% of the reaction will be

2. 1.5 min
3. 0.75 min
4. 1.0 min

1. 210 s
2. 21.0 s
3. 69.3 s
4. 23.1 s

If the half-life (t1/2) for a first order reaction is 1 minute, then the time required for 99.9\% completion of the reaction is closest to :
