Now consider the decomposition of dinitrogen monoxide. N2O (g) → N2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) rate = k[N2O]2 Starting with an initial concentration of 1.0 M, what is the half-life of the reaction?

    The Half life is equal to the inverse of the rate constant (1/k).

    Explanation:

    The half life of any reaction is the amount of time it takes to consume half of the starting material.

    For a second-order reaction, the half-life is inversely related to the initial concentration of the reactant (A).

    It is mathematically given as;

    t1/2 = 1 / k[A]o

    where;

    t1/2 = Half life

    k = Rate constant

    [A]o = Initial Concentration

    Since the initial concentration is 1.0 M;

    Half life = 1 / k (1) = 1 / k

    The Half life is equal to the inverse of the rate constant.
