What is a first order reaction?

A first order reaction is one in which the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of a single specie.

Since;

t1/2 = 0.693/k =  0.693/ 0.128 s-1

t1/2 = 5.4 secs

Using the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

0.693/5.4 = 2.303/t log 1/0.75

0.693/5.4 = 2.303/t log

0.693/5.4 = 0.287/t

t =  2.2 seconds
