Step 1: Write down the integrated rate law for a first-order reaction: \( \text{ln} [A]_t = -kt + \text{ln} [A]_0 \).
Step 2: Use the given data to create a plot of \( \text{ln} [CH_3NC] \) versus time (s).
Step 3: Determine the slope of the line from the plot, which is equal to \(-k\).
Step 4: Calculate the first-order rate constant \(k\) from the slope.
Step 5: Use the first-order half-life formula \( t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} \) to calculate the half-life of the reaction.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

First-Order Reactions

First-order reactions are chemical reactions where the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. This means that as the concentration of the reactant decreases, the rate of the reaction also decreases. The mathematical representation of a first-order reaction is given by the equation: ln([A]0/[A]) = kt, where [A]0 is the initial concentration, [A] is the concentration at time t, k is the rate constant, and t is time.

First-Order Reactions

Rate Constant (k)

The rate constant (k) is a proportionality factor in the rate equation that provides insight into the speed of a reaction. For first-order reactions, the units of k are typically s⁻¹. The value of k can be determined from experimental data by plotting ln([A]0/[A]) versus time (t), where the slope of the line equals -k. A larger k indicates a faster reaction.

Equilibrium Constant K

Half-Life (t1/2)

The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to half of its initial value. For first-order reactions, the half-life is constant and independent of the initial concentration, calculated using the formula t1/2 = 0.693/k. This property allows for easy comparison of reaction rates and is crucial for understanding the kinetics of the reaction.
