IB skill practice

Use integrated rate relationships and half-life

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

First-order half-life

A first-order process in a materials-analysis workshop has \(k=0.12\,\text{min}^{-1}\). Calculate the half-life. Use the labelled diagram, graph, or data table before calculating. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
