    The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of a reactant to reduce to half of its initial concentration. For a first order reaction, the half-life remains constant and does not depend on the starting concentration of the reactant. The document provides examples of reactions starting with different amounts of reactants that reduce to half the initial amount after the same half-life period, demonstrating first order reaction behavior.

    Half life period of a reaction:

    The half-life of a reaction is the time in which the


    concentration of a reactant is reduced to one half of
    its initial concentration..t1/2
    10g- 5g
    R0 - R t1/2 = R0  R0
    2
    50g- 25 g
    4Moles - 2Moles
    0
    first order reaction, the half
    life is a constant i.e.,
    it does not depend on the
    initial concentration. R0
