Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A reaction follows first-order kinetics. If the half-life is 20 minutes, what will the concentration be after 60 minutes if we start with 1 M?
Calculate how many half-lives have passed.
💡 Hint: Think about how many times you need to halve the concentration.
For the reaction A → products, the rate constant is measured at 0.5 M^-1 s^-1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.2 M, how long will it take for the concentration to drop to 0.1 M?
💡 Hint: Focus on rearranging the integrated rate equation to find time.
