Question
Part B
The integrated rate law allows chemists to predict the
reactant concentration after a certain amount of time, or
the time it would take for a certain concentration to be
reached.
What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 307 seconds for the reactant concentration to drop to half of its initial value?
The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is:
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
[A] = [A]oe kt

Now say we are particularly interested in the time it would
take for the concentration to become one-half of its initial
[A],
for [A] and
?
value. Then we could substitute

This equation calculates the time required for the
reactant concentration to drop to half its initial value. In
other words, it calculates the half-life.
