For a first order reaction, show that time required for 99% completion is twice the time required for the completion of 90% of reaction.
The half-life for radioactive decay of 14C is 5730 years. An archaeological artifact containing wood had only 80% of the 14C found in a living tree. Estimate the age of the sample.
In a first-order reaction A → product, 80% of the given sample of compound decomposes in 40 min. What is the half-life period of the reaction?
The half life period of a radioactive element is 140 days. After 560 days, 1 g of element will be reduced to
Define half life of a reaction.
Observe the graph shown in figure and answer the following questions:

Write the relationship between k and t1/2 (half-life period)
A sample of U238 (half-life = 4.5 × 109 years) ore is found to contain 23.8 g of U238 and 20.6 g of Pb206. The age of the ore is ______ × 109 years.
Obtain a relation, `k_2/k_1 = ((t_(1/2))_2)/((t_(1/2))_1)`, where k1 and k2 are rate constants while (t1/2)1 and (t1/2)2 are half-life periods of the first order reaction at temperatures T1 and T2 respectively. Write the relation for activation energy.
Calculate the half-life of a first order reaction from the rate constant given below:
