2. Imagine you run a reaction whose free energy of activation (AG*) is 18 kcal/mol. If it were a first order reaction, its’ half life (the time for half the starting material to go away) or half the product to form (assuming a 100% yield) would by In2/k where k is the rate constant. How long will it take for the reaction to be done if you run the reaction in an ice-salt bath at room temperature (20 °C) if the rate constant were 1 x 104/sec?
