Why is large k = fast reaction?
Also, just in general, why do we want to know half-life?

Re: K value related to half life
For all half life equations, there is always an inverse relationship between k and time. For this reason, a large k means time is small which means that it is a fast reaction. Hope this helps!

Re: K value related to half life
Hey!!! So k is your rate constant. Rate=k(reactant) so when you increase the value of k you're increasing the rate of the reaction.
Hope this helps! :)
