The reaction, Y \(\rightarrow\) Product is of first order with the initial concentration of Y = 3.55 × 10?3 moldm3 and the rate constant of 5.25 × 10?3s?1. What is the half-life of the reaction?

  • A) 350s
  • B) 215s
  • C) 132s
  • D) 615s

Correct Answer: C) 132s

Explanation

\( t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{k} =\frac{0.693}{5.25 \times 10^{-3}} = 132s \)
