Half-life period of a first order reaction is 1386 s. The specific rate constant of the reaction is
- 0.5 10-2 s-1
- 0.5 10-3 s-1
- 5.0 10-2 s-1
- 5.0 10-3 s-1
Answer
(2) 0.5 10-3 s-1
Solution
For a first order reaction, t1/2 = 0.693k
k = 0.693 t1/2 = 0.6931386 s
k = 5 10-4 s-1 = 0.5 10-3 s-1
Answer: (2)
