JEE Main 2026 — 4 April, Morning Shift — Question 54

Consider the first order reaction R→P\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}.

The fraction of molecules decomposed in the given first order reaction can be expressed as

  1. Option A:

    1−ek1t1-e^{k_{1} t}

  2. Option B:

    1+ek1t1+e^{k_{1} t}

  3. Option C:

    1+e−k1t1+e^{-k_{1} t}

  4. Option D:

    1−e−k1t1-e^{-k_{1} t}

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Ist \mathrm{I}^{\text {st }} order of RμH\mathrm{R} \mu^{\mathrm{H}}

a−x=ae−K1txa=1−e−K1t\begin{aligned} & a-x=a e^{-K_{1} t} & \frac{x}{a}=1-e^{-K_{1} t} \end{aligned}
