For a reaction, the rate constant is `2.34 s^(-1)`. The half-life period for the reaction is

Options

A. 0.30s
B. 0.60s
C. 3.3s
D. data is insufficient

Answer

A

Explanation

`K=2.34 s(-1)`
Unit of k auggest that the reaction is of first order, hence for first order reaction,
`t(t//2)= 0.693 k=(0.693)/(2.34)=0.30s`
