For a second-order reaction, the rate constant is 0.1 M^-1s^-1. If the initial concentration is 0.2 M, what is the half-life?
Q1. For a second-order reaction, the rate constant is 0.1 M^-1s^-1. If the initial concentration is 0.2 M, what is the half-life?
Answer: 50 s
Explanation: For a second-order reaction, t1/2 = 1 / (k[A0]) = 1 / (0.1 x 0.2).
