The accompanying figure depicts a change in concentration of species A and B of the reaction A → B, as a function of time. The point of intersection of the two curves represents:
Show Hint
Equal concentrations of reactant and product indicate half completion.
Step 1:
At the point of intersection, [A]=[B].
Step 2:
For reaction A→ B, this occurs when half of A has reacted.
Step 3:
Thus the time corresponds to half-life t₁/2.
