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
Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA)
FALSE
There are other limiting factors like lack of space, diseases, and com petition.
