    The rate constant for a first order reaction whose half-life, is 480 s is:

    A)  \[2.88\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[2.72\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[1.44\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[1.44{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     We know that \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}\] Or \[k=\frac{0.693}{{{t}_{1/2}}}=\frac{0.693}{480}\] \[=1.44\times {{10}^{-3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]
