3. In some circumstances, it is possible for a reactant to follow "half-order" kinetics, that is, d[A] k[A]¹/2. dt = (a) Find the integrated rate law for a half-order kinetics process, and express it as [A], given as a function of the initial concentration, [A]o, the rate constant, k, and the time, t. (b) Use your integrated rate law to derive an expression for the half-life of a half-order process, then compute the magnitude of the half-life for a process with [A]o = 0.24 M, and k = 0.003 (in appropriate units- this will result in time measured in seconds).
