Question

If the rate constant is higher, is the half life the shortest?

Answer 1

Answer 2

I have two reactions and one reaction has a rate constant of 14 while the other one has 6. How can I know which one has a longer half life?

Answer 3

generally, yes since the rate constant is in the denominator, larger rate constant ---> smaller half life

Answer 4

Process 1: rate=k[a], k=6.79 m^-1 min^-1 process 2: rate=k[c], k=14.55 m^-1 min^-1

Answer 5

whoa how did it bold

Answer 6

you typed [ b ]

Answer 7

Oh that means bold?
Either way, larger rate constant means smaller half life, right?
thank you
