Q3.25:
Sucrose decomposes in acid solution into glucose and fructose according to the first order rate law, with \(t_{1/2} = 3.00\) hours. What fraction of sample of sucrose remains after 8 hours ?
Solution :
Step 1: Establishing the Kinetic Parameters
The decomposition of sucrose follows a first-order rate law. The rate constant $k$ for a first-order reaction is related to the half-life $t_{1/2}$ by the following expression:
$k = \frac{\ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}$ [Derived from the integration of the first-order rate equation, $\ln[R]_t = -kt + \ln[R]_0$]
Given $t_{1/2} = 3.00 \text{ h}$:
$k = \frac{0.693}{3.00 \text{ h}} = 0.231 \text{ h}^{-1}$
Step 2: Formulating the Concentration-Time Relationship
For a first-order reaction, the amount of substance remaining after time $t$ is given by the integrated rate law:
$\ln\left(\frac{[R]_t}{[R]_0}\right) = -kt$
To find the fraction remaining, we calculate the ratio $\frac{[R]_t}{[R]_0}$:
$\frac{[R]_t}{[R]_0} = e^{-kt}$
Step 3: Quantitative Calculation
Given $t = 8.00 \text{ h}$ and $k = 0.231 \text{ h}^{-1}$, substitute these values into the exponential function:
$\frac{[R]_t}{[R]_0} = e^{-(0.231 \text{ h}^{-1} \times 8.00 \text{ h})}$
$\frac{[R]_t}{[R]_0} = e^{-1.848}$
Using the exponential constant $e \approx 2.718$:
$\frac{[R]_t}{[R]_0} \approx 0.1575$
Step 4: Graphical Representation of First-Order Decay
Step 5: Analysis of the Result
The calculation $e^{-1.848}$ represents the fraction of the initial concentration that remains undecayed after 8 hours of reaction time. The value $0.1575$ indicates that approximately $15.75\%$ of the initial sucrose concentration exists in the system after the elapsed period.
Final Solution: The fraction of the sample of sucrose remaining after 8 hours is approximately 0.1575.
