The rate constant : k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
The half life : t1/2 = 75.3 s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction 45% complete in 65 s
Required
The rate constant and the half life
Solution
For first order ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o
45% complete, 55% remains
A = 0.55
Ao = 1
Input the value :
ln A = -kt + ln Ao
ln 0.55 = -k.65 + ln 1
-0.598=-k.65
k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
The half life :
t1/2 = (ln 2) / k
t1/2 = 0.693 : 9.2 x 10⁻³
t1/2 = 75.3 s
