Write short note of Half-time of a reaction.

Answer»

Half life period:- Time taken to complete half portion of the first order reaction (t1/2) is called half life period.

It is denoted t1/2 We know that t = 2.303/t log{a}/{a - x}

Here a is the amount of the substance initially present and x is the amount that has reacted in time 'k'. In half life time (t1/2), a will be reduced to a/2(x = a/2)

∴ Half life period

(t1/2) = 2.303/k log{a}/{a - (a/2)} = 2.303/k log2 = 2.303/k x 0.3010

∴ t1/2 = 0.693/k
