Consider the first-order decomposition of A molecules (shaded spheres) in two vessels of equal volume. How will the half-life of decomposition in vessel (a) be affected if the volume of the vessel is decreased by a factor of 2?
Added by Jill J.
Step 1
The half-life (tā/ā) of a first-order reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant and is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} \] where \( k \) is the rate constant. Show moreā¦
