Chapter 12, Problem 4E

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The half-life in years for the reaction 2 X à Y.

Concept introduction: Half-life period is defined as the time required for a substance to reduce to half of its initial concentration. Half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reaction. The reactions where there are two molecules of reactant are called as second-order reactions and are also called as bimolecular reactions.
