Question
A first order reaction with respect to Reactant A has a rate
constant of 4.206 x 10-2 minutes1. What is the half-life (in
minutes)?
IMPORTANT: When entering your answer:
• Enter the number only (no units)
• Do not leave any spaces
• Use a leading zero before the decimal when necessary
Report your number to 2 decimal places (regardless of the
significant figures)
Correctly round your answer to the 2nd decimal place
(allowed margin of error is only + 0.01, so always use un-
rounded numbers in your calculations)
Examples: 0.12 or 98.76
