The time taken for half the reaction to complete Half-life period of a first order reaction is
i.e., the time in which the concentration of a independent of initial concentration
reactant is reduced to half of its original value is 0.693

k
But it is impossible to perform 100% of the 7. (1)
reaction. Whole of the substance never reacts As t75% = 2 × t50%, the order of the reaction is one,
because in every half-life, 50% of the substance A is a first order reaction.
