Incorrect. In the last problem, we learned that the reaction is second order and k = 0.25 M-¹ s²¹.
Now we can use the second order half-life equation to solve for the first half-life for Experiment #2.
*Check to make sure you are using the data from Experiment #2.

Incorrect. We learned in the previous problems that this reaction is second order and k = 0.25 M²¹ s²¹.
During the first half-life, [A] decreases by 50% (0.2 M to 0.1M). Now we need to determine how long it will take for [A] decrease by
another 50% (0.1 M to 0.05 M). This means the original concentration for the second half-life of experiment #2 is 0.1 M.
