Explain the half-life in minutes of substance a

Reference no: EM13545474

An isomerisation reaction of a substance, A, to form substance B is first order. In a laboratory class one student group found that 26.6% of A had isomerised after a period of 15.0 minutes when the temperature was maintained at 84.5 °C. What is the half-life in minutes of substance A at that temperature?
