Zero Order - Half-Life Period ($$t_{1/2}$$)

Rarely Tested

$$t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2 \cdot k}$$

Concept: Calculates the time required for the initial reactant concentration to decrease to exactly half of its starting value.

Completion time $$t_{100}$$

$$t_{100} = \frac{[A]_0}{k}$$

Concept: Calculates the total time required for a zero-order reaction to reach absolute completion ($$[A]_t = 0$$).

Notation:

  • $$t_{100}$$ = Completion time;
