For a second-order reaction, the rate constant is 0.01 M-1s-1. If the initial concentration is 1 M, what is the half-life?
Q1. For a second-order reaction, the rate constant is 0.01 M-1s-1. If the initial concentration is 1 M, what is the half-life?
Answer: 100 s
Explanation: For a second-order reaction, t1/2 = 1 / (k[A]0) = 1 / (0.01*1) = 100 s.
