First order reaction,
k = \(\frac{2.303}{t}\)log \(\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}\)
It is given that, t1/2 = 3.00 hours
k = \(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\)
Therefore, \(\frac{0.693}{3}h^{-1}\)
= 0.231 h-1
Then, 0.231 h-1
= \(\frac{2.303}{8 \ h}\)log \(\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}\)
⇒ log \(\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}\) = \(\frac{0.231 h^{-1} \times 8 h}{2.303}\)
⇒ \(\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}\) = antilog (0.8024)
⇒ \(\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}\) = 6.3445
⇒ \(\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}\) = 0.1576 (approx)
= 0.158
Hence, the fraction of sample of sucrose that remains after 8 hours is 0.158.
