ACC to the question , both the reactions are in first order kinetics .
so, acc to the rate law of first order kinetics
T= 2.303/K log [A]/B[]
and here A is the total product and B is the product left after completetion of reaction .
as u knows the k value for the reaction , put that value here ,
so, by putting the value
T= 2.303/ 6.93 log 100/10 (as 90 percent completed )
calculate the value for t from the above equation .
and as u have mentioned that the time taken for completation of 90 percent of first reaction = the time taken for completation of 50 percent of the 2nd reaction .
so, we can use the value of T here , also .
use the formula
K= 2.303/T log 100/50
put the value of T as u have got from first equation .
and substitute the value here ,
u will get the k2 for the 2nd reaction .
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT
IF NOT ABLE TO FIND THE RIGHT ANSWER BY PUTTING THE VALUE THEN LET ME KNOW ..
ALL THE BEST ..
