Key Points: First Order Reactions

A reaction is first order if the rate depends on the first power of concentration of one reactant.

For A → Products:

Time Concentration
t = 0 a
t = t a − x

\[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A]_0}{[A]}\]

Also: \[[A]=[A]_0\cdot e^{-kt}\]

Half-life:

\[t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}\]

  • Half-life is independent of initial concentration — a defining feature of first order reactions.
  • \[t_{75\%}=2\times t_{1/2}\]
