29.Read passage below and answer following questions:
The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of reactant
to decrease by half, i.e., For first order reaction, t[1/2]=0.693/K, this means t[1/2]
is independent of initial concentration. Figure on the right shows that typical
variation of concentration of reactant exhibiting first order kinetics. It may be
noted that though the major portion of the first order kinetics may be over in a
finite time, but the reaction will never cease as the concentration of reactant
will be zero only at infinite time.
