Re: Half life
Using the integrated rate law of the first order reactions: ln [A] = -k t + ln [A]o, you can solve for the half-life (t1/2) by setting [A]= (1/2)[A]o.
Eventually you get, t1/2 = ln(2)/k or 0.693/k.
Eventually you get, t1/2 = ln(2)/k or 0.693/k.

Re: reaction intermediate
Intermediates are the things that are produced in one step but used up in a later step. They do not appear in the overall chemical equation. These are the ones that are canceled out when you add the steps together and they are not reactants present in beginning.

You can find the unique rate expression of the each reactant and product, then set it equal to the unique rate.
For example:

For example:

Re: Reaction Rate vs Rate of Consumption/Formation
I think the rate of consumption is the rate that the reactants are being used up. The rate of formation is the rate that the products are being formed.
During that problem, I think you are supposed to interpret the reaction rate as a unique rate to find the rate of consumption/formation.
