Calculate Half Life Period of First Order Reaction



Formula

The formula to calculate the Half Life Period of a First Order Reaction is:

\[ t_{0.5} = \frac{\ln(2)}{K_h} \]

Definition

The Half Life Period is the time required for 50 percent completion of a first-order reaction. The Rate Constant is the coefficient of proportionality relating the rate of a chemical reaction at a given temperature to the concentration of reactant or product.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ t_{0.5} = \frac{\ln(2)}{1E-06} = 693147.180559945 \text{ Second} \]

The Half Life Period of the First Order Reaction is 693147.180559945 Second.
