Consider the first-order reaction described by the equation At a certain temperature, the rate constant for this reaction is 5.82 × 10 − 4 s − 1 5.82×10−4 s−1 . Calculate the half-life of cyclopropane at this temperature.

The half life of the reaction is 1190.7 seconds

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

where,

k = rate constant of the reaction =

= half life of the reaction = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the half life of the reaction is 1190.7 seconds
