For a first-order reaction,the half-life period is $69.3 \ s$. If the concentration of the reactant is $0.10 \ mol \ L^{-1}$,what will be the rate of the reaction?

For the first order reaction,half life is $14 \, sec$. The time required for the initial concentration to reduce to $\frac{1}{8}$ of its value is .......... $sec$.

The half-life period of a first order reaction is $100 \, \text{sec}$. The rate constant of the reaction is

The first order rate constant for the decomposition of $N_2O_5$ is $6.2 \times 10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$. The half-life period for this decomposition in seconds is:
