Consider the first-order gas-phase decomposition reaction given below:
$A_{(g)} \longrightarrow B_{(g)} + C_{(g)}$
The initial pressure of the system before the decomposition of $A$ was $P_i$. After time $t$,the total pressure of the system increased by $x \ units$ and became $P_t$. The rate constant $k$ for the reaction is given as:

  • A
    $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_i}{P_i - P_t}$
  • B
    $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_i}{2P_i - P_t}$
  • C
    $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_i}{2P_i + P_t}$
  • D
    $K = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_i}{P_i + x}$
