The isomerization of methylisonitrile to acetonitrile CH3NC(g) → CH3CN(g) is first order in CH3NC. The rate constant for the reaction is 9.45 × 10-5 s-1 at 478 K. The half-life of the reaction when the initial [CH3NC] is 0.030 M is s

The half-life of the reaction is 7333 seconds

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

The half-life of the reaction is 7333 seconds

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.
