In a first order reaction, 10% of the reactant is consumed in 25 minuts. Calculate:
The half life of the reaction.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the half-life of a first-order reaction where 10% of the reactant is consumed in 25 minutes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Initial and Final Concentrations**: - Let the initial concentration of the reactant be \( [A]_0 = 100 \) (arbitrary units). - Since 10% of the reactant is consumed, the amount consumed \( x = 10 \). - Therefore, the final concentration \( [A] = [A]_0 - x = 100 - 10 = 90 \). ...
