The answer is 39 min. I just need to know how to work the problem.How would I work this first-order reaction to find the half-life?
N/N0 = e^-kt
0.75 = e^-k(16)
Ln(0.75) = -k(16)
k = - Ln(0.75) / 16
k = 0.01798
for t(1/2), N/N0 = 0.5
0.5 = e^-(0.01798)t
Ln(0.5) = - (0.01798)t
t = - Ln(0.5)/(0.01798)
t = 38.6 minHow would I work this first-order reaction to find the half-life?
ln [A]f / [A掳] = - kt
t = 16 x 60 = 960 s
ln 75 / 100 = - k x 960
0.288 / 960= k
k = 0.000300
t1/2 = ln 2 / k = 0.693 / 0.0003=2310 s =%26gt; 39 min
