The initial concentration of A in the first-order reaction below is 0.509 M. a) Given that the rate constant is 0.821 s^-1, what is the half-life of the reaction? b) How long does it take for the concentration to drop from 0.242 M to 0.121 M? 3A → 2B + 4C

The half-life of the zero-order reaction A → B is 0.56 minutes. If the initial concentration of A is 3.4 M, what is the rate constant? t1/2 = [A]o/2k

The rate constant for the second-order reaction $$2 \mathrm{NOBr}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{Br}_{2}(g)$$ is $0.80 / M \cdot$ s at $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) Starting with a concentration of $0.086 M,$ calculate the concentration of NOBr after 22 s. (b) Calculate the half-lives when $[\mathrm{NOBr}]_{0}=0.072 M$ and $[\mathrm{NOBr}]_{0}=0.054$ $M$.
