Chapter 7, Problem 7B.22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expression for half-life of $\text{A}$ that decays by a $n\text{th}$ order reaction has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The half-life of the particular chemical reaction is the time at which the amount of reactant gets reduced to half of the initial value. The decaying nucleus in a radioactive decay can have either very short or very huge half-life. Half-life’s value helps in the calculation of rate constant of respective radioactive decay reaction.
