Question

Define the following terms:

Half-life period of reaction (t1/2).

Solution

 Half-life period of a reaction
Half-life period of a reaction is the time taken for half of the reaction to be completed. In other words, the time in which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its original value is called half-life period of the reaction.
