Question : 13
Total: 39
Calculate the half-life of the first order reaction from their rate constants given below :
(i) 200 s1
(ii) 2 min1
(iii) 4 year1
Solution:  
Half-life period of a first order reaction is given by t12=
0.693
k
,

hence
(i) t12=
0.693
200

=3.46×103 s
(ii) t12=
0.693
2

=0.346 min
(iii) t12=
0.693
4

=0.173 year
