Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.91 Half Life in First Order Processes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A first-order reaction leaves 12.0% of reactant A after 40.0 min. What is the half-life?
A13.1 min
B4.80 min
C19.2 min
D27.7 min
Solution & Explanation:Use fraction remaining = e^(-kt). k = -ln(0.120)/40.0 = 0.0530 min^-1. Then t1/2 = 0.693/0.0530 = 13.1 min.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
In a dye-bleaching experiment, absorbance is proportional to concentration. Absorbance drops from 0.800 to 0.0500 in a first-order process with t1/2 = 2.00 min. How long did the bleaching take?
A8.00 min
B4.00 min
C6.00 min
D16.0 min
Solution & Explanation:The absorbance ratio is 0.800/0.0500 = 16, so 4 half-lives passed. Time = 4 x 2.00 min = 8.00 min.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A student uses t1/2 = 1/k for a first-order reaction with k = 0.0347 min^-1 and gets 28.8 min. What is the correct half-life?
A0.0240 min
B28.8 min
C48.8 min
D20.0 min
Solution & Explanation:The correct formula is t1/2 = 0.693/k. Thus t1/2 = 0.693/0.0347 min^-1 = 20.0 min, not 1/k.
