The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the half-lives \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \) of two first-order reactions given their rate constants \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the half-life formula for first-order reactions**: The half-life \( t_{1/2} \) for a first-order reaction is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{K} \] 2. **Calculate \( t_1 \) for the reaction A to B**: Given \( K_1 = 0.693 \, \text{sec}^{-1} \): \[ t_1 = \frac{0.693}{K_1} = \frac{0.693}{0.693} = 1 \, \text{sec} \] 3. **Convert \( K_2 \) from minutes to seconds**: Given \( K_2 = 0.693 \, \text{min}^{-1} \): To convert \( K_2 \) to seconds, we use the conversion factor \( 1 \, \text{min} = 60 \, \text{sec} \): \[ K_2 = \frac{0.693}{60} \, \text{sec}^{-1} \] 4. **Calculate \( t_2 \) for the reaction C to D**: Using the half-life formula: \[ t_2 = \frac{0.693}{K_2} = \frac{0.693}{\frac{0.693}{60}} = 60 \, \text{sec} \] 5. **Establish the relationship between \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \)**: Now we have: \[ t_1 = 1 \, \text{sec} \quad \text{and} \quad t_2 = 60 \, \text{sec} \] Therefore, the relationship can be expressed as: \[ t_2 = 60 \cdot t_1 \] ### Final Answer: The relationship between the half-lives is: \[ t_2 = 60 \cdot t_1 \]

The activity of a nucleus is inversely proportional to its half of average life. Thus, shorter the half life of an element, greater is its radioactivity, i.e., greater the number of atomsd disintegrating per second.
