Half life (t1/2) of a reaction

The time taken for half of the reactant to be used up.

2
New cards

What occurs the half life if a reaction is zero order

Decreases

3
New cards

What occurs to the half life if a reaction is first order

Remains constant

4
New cards

What occurs to the half life if a reaction is second order

Increases

5
New cards

How can the rate constant of a first order reaction be calculated

K = ln2 / t1/2
