Calculation (10 pts each)
It takes 42.0 min for the concentration of a reactant in a first-order reaction to drop from 0.45 M to 0.32 M at 25°C. How long will it take for the reaction to be 50% complete?
(hint: obtain the rate constant k first, then calculate t1/2)
The half-life (t1/2) for the reactant A in the first order reaction below is 25 seconds. What is the rate constant k for this reaction at the same temperature?
A → B
