What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 127 seconds for the reactant concentration to drop to half of its initial value?

Solutions

Expert Solution

A:- Equation for first order reaction half life, t_1/2 = 0.693 / k

127 sec. = 0.693 / k

k = 0.693 / 127 sec.

k = 0.0054567 sec^-1
