Rate constant k for a first order reaction has been found to be `2.54 xx 10^(-3) sec^(-1)`. Calculate three forth half life period.

Explanation

To calculate the time taken for three-fourths of a first-order reaction to complete, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the concept of half-life in first-order reactions
For a first-order reaction, the half-life (t₁/₂) is given by the formula:
\[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} \]
where \( k \) is the rate constant.

### Step 2: Calculate the half-life
