Question
Start with the general mass balance relationship In – Out + Rxn = Accum and derive a formula that allows you to calculate the value of the first order reaction rate constant, k, given the half-life of a compound. Use the equation to determine the value of k for carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) given that CCl4 has a half-life of 8,030 days in air.
