Half-Life 1st Order Reaction
Is the equation t1/2 = 0.693/k valid for all first order reactions? And if so, it it because the initial concentration of A cancel out and leave ln(1/2)?

Also remember that you can always derive this equation it you have any doubts

Re: Half-Life 1st Order Reaction
For the first order
the half life equation is t(1/2)= ln2/k.
It is applicable to all first order rate reactions.
the half life equation is t(1/2)= ln2/k.
It is applicable to all first order rate reactions.

Re: Half-Life 1st Order Reaction
Why is it that the half-life of a first order reaction doesn't depend on initial concentration?

Re: Half-Life 1st Order Reaction
The initial concentration gets cancelled out when you derive the equation. Thus you end up with the equation t1/2 = 0.693/k
