What are the first and second half-lives for a first-order reaction which is 75.0% complete in 320. s?
A first-order reaction is 75.0% complete in 320. s.
a. What are the first and second half-lives for this reaction?
b. How long does it take for 90.0 % completion?
The mechanism of a reaction A â B is investigated. At the beginning of the reaction, the concentration of A is 1.85âââ10â3M. After 75.0 s, the concentration of A is 4.61âââ10â5M. Using the integrated rate laws, calculate the half-life of the reaction at 75.0 s for the following conditions.
(a) The reaction is first order in A. (b) The reaction is second order in A.
