Calculate half-life of a first order reaction in minute if the rate constant is $1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}$.
  1. $6.93$
  2. $15$
  3. $9.3$
  4. $11.55$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & t_{1 / 2}=\frac{0.693}{K}=\frac{0.693}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \\ & =693 \mathrm{sec} \\ & =11.55 \mathrm{~min}\end{aligned}$
