Half life of reaction
Question#1
For the first order reaction, half life is related to the expression t1/2 = 0.693/k Half life is the SET2019
Question#2
The half life of N2O5 at 45oC is 24minutes. How long will it take for sample of N2O5. to decay to 25% of its original concentration? MDCAT2015
Question#3
The rate constant ''k'' is 0.0693min-1. The half life for the 1st order reaction will be MDCAT2016
Hint: For first order reaction
\( t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{Ka^0} \)
Question#4
For a first order reaction A → B the reaction rate at reactant concentration of
0.01M is found to be 2.0x10-5 mol L-1 s-1.The half life period of the reaction is [CBSE PMT 2005]
R=K[A]
2.0x10-5=k(10-2 )
k= 2.0 x10-3
t1/2 = 0.693/k =693/2=347s
Question#5
If a substance with half life 3 days is taken at other place in 12 days.
What amount of substance is left now [AFMC 2005]
1st half life | 1/2 |
2nd half life | 1/4 |
3rd half life | 1/8 |
4th half life | 1/16 |
number of half life=n= T / t1/2 =12/3=4
Question#6
The half-life of a first order reaction having rate constant K = 1.7x 10-5s-1
is [BHU 2005]
Question#7
Half life period of a first order reaction is 1386s. The specific rate constant of the reaction is 2009NEET
Hint;
t1/2 =0.693/k
Question#8
The rate of first order reaction is 0.04molL-1s-1 at 10sec and 0.03 molL-1s-1 at 20sec after initiation of the reaction. The half life of this reaction is NEET-1 2016
hint:
k= 2.303/t2-t1 x log[Ao]/[A]
t1/2 =0.693/k
