Re: Half life for second order reaction
The half life equation for a second order reaction is: t(1/2) = 1/(K)([A]o) This can be derived from some of the equations that we got in class: t=1/K (1/[A] - 1/[A]o) to get K= 1/(t(1/2))([A]o) and then switch the K and t(1/2) you can also solve for the time it takes for decay that isn't to the hal...
