For the reaction $$A \to p$$ at $$T K$$, the half life ($$t_{1/2}$$) is plotted as a function of initial concentration $$[A]_o$$ of $$A$$ as give below.
The value of $$x$$ in the given figure is ______ s (Nearest integer)
Correct Answer: 90
The graph of $$t_{1/2}$$ versus initial concentration $$[A]_0$$ is a straight line passing through the origin. Hence,
$$t_{1/2} \propto [A]_0$$
This relationship is characteristic of a zero-order reaction, for which
$$t_{1/2}=\frac{[A]_0}{2k}$$
Since the graph is linear and passes through the origin, the ratio $$\dfrac{t_{1/2}}{[A]_0}$$ remains constant.
From the graph:
Therefore,
$$\frac{240}{4\times10^{-3}}=\frac{x}{1.5\times10^{-3}}$$
On solving,
$$x=\frac{240\times(1.5\times10^{-3})}{4\times10^{-3}}$$
Cancelling $$10^{-3}$$ from numerator and denominator,
$$x=\frac{240\times1.5}{4}$$
$$x=60\times1.5$$
$$x=90,\text{s}$$
Hence, the value of $$x$$ is
$$\boxed{90}$$
