The half life of a first order reaction ...

The half life of a first order reaction is `60 min`. How long will is take to consume `90%` of the reactant?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how long it will take to consume 90% of the reactant in a first-order reaction with a half-life of 60 minutes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the rate constant (k) The half-life (t_half) of a first-order reaction is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} \] Given that \( t_{1/2} = 60 \) minutes, we can rearrange the equation to solve for k: \[ k = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}} = \frac{0.693}{60 \text{ min}} \] ...
