Chapter 13, Problem 13.111QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The half –life of the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Half-life for zero order reactions:

The time taken by the concentration of reaction to get reduced of its original concentration is called as half-life reaction.

The half-life for zero order reactions depends on the initial concentration of the reactant.

The half-life period of zero order reactions gets shorter as the zero-order reaction proceeds.

The equation of half life for zero order reaction is given as,

${\text{t}}_{\text{1/2}}\text{=}\frac{{\left[\text{A}\right]}_{\text{0}}}{\text{2k}}$
