Calculate half life of first order reaction if rate constant of reaction is $2.772 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  1. $125 \mathrm{~s}$
  2. $250 \mathrm{~s}$
  3. $100 \mathrm{~s}$
  4. $150 \mathrm{~s}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{k}=\frac{0.693}{\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{t}_{1 / 2} & =\frac{0.693}{\mathrm{k}}=\frac{0.693}{2.772 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}=250 \mathrm{~s}\end{aligned}$
