Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics
In the first order reaction the relation between the velocity constant (k1) and half-life period (t1/2) is
A
t1/2=k10.693
B
k1=0.693t1/2
C
t1/2=0.693+k1
D
t1/2=0.693k1
Answer
t1/2=k10.693
Explanation
Solution
For first order reaction, half-life period, \hspace35mm t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k_1}
