What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 563 secondsseconds for the reactant concentration to drop to half of its initial value?

The rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 563 secondsseconds for the reactant concentration to drop to half of its initial value is

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Thus rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 563 secondsseconds for the reactant concentration to drop to half of its initial value is

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
