  • The half-life of a reaction is the time required for a reactant to reach one-half its initial concentration or pressure. For a first-order reaction, the half-life is independent of concentration and constant over time. View more lessons or practice this subject at www.khanacademy.org/science/a...

    You should put number to the concentration.

    had to find the rate constant for an equation using that half life formula but I got a resonance cascade instead. any idea on what I did wrong?

    I pressed [log] then .5 and i got this answer -0.301029995 and he got -.693147... what am i doing wrong? do I need to press other buttons to get that answer?

    • @sidewaysfcs0718
      @sidewaysfcs0718 8 лет назад +1

      +Kerwyn204 it's a natural logarithm, log is usually interpretend as decimal logarithm (or lg) by default, find a button that says ln instead of log

    • @pranjalijain3629
      @pranjalijain3629 7 лет назад

      K3K it is natural log of 2(and not the half) upon the rate constant (as written in all the text books) which gives the half life ..n u r right idk how he went wrong bout that concept

  • @WanSyazlina

    There is this one question I don't quite understand : "Calculate half-life for first-order reaction if 68% of a substance is reacted within 66 s."
    So, how do i calculate this. And I wonder why must we use what is left of substance in the equation and not what is used up?
    ln [A] = -kt + ln [A]o
    ln 0.32 = - k (66 s) + ln 1
    k = 0.0172642 s-1
    -Why must i use 32% in the equation and not 68%?
    -And Why use ln (1) for ln [A]o in the equation?

    • @alaen2
      @alaen2 7 лет назад +1

      1) You're calculating the current concentration percentage of [A], 68% has reacted, so you're left with 32%
      2) 1 = 100/100 (100%), your initial concetration
