A possible reaction for the degradation of the pesticide DDT to a less harmful compound was simulated in the laboratory. The rea ction was found to be first-order, with at . What is the half-life for the degradation of DDT in this experiment, in years?
1 answer:
Answer:
This exercise is incomplete, missing the value of k (decay constant), which is equal to 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹ at 25°C
The answer is 0.549 years
Explanation:
Given:
first order of reaction
k = 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹
For a first order of reaction, the half-life time for the degradation of DDT is equal to:
