engineering chemistry MCQ #4932

  1. Question 1

    Q1. For a first-order reaction, the rate constant (k) is related to half-life (t1/2) as

    • A) k = 0.693 / t1/2
    • B) k = t1/2 / 0.693
    • C) k = 2.303 / t1/2
    • D) k = t1/2 / 2.303

    Answer: k = 0.693 / t1/2

    Explanation: For a first-order reaction, t1/2 = 0.693 / k. Rearranging gives k = 0.693 / t1/2, using the formula for half-life of first-order reactions.
