Consider the first-order decomposition of A molecules (red spheres) in three vessels of equal volume. (1)-(3)

(b) What are the relative half-lives of the reactions in vessels (1)–(3)?

Video transcript

Hello, Everyone in this video, we're trying to determine the relative half lives of the decomposition of these X molecules. So the screen spheres here and through different vessels. So vessel A vessel B and vessel sea, and they all have equal volume. We're also being told in the problem to assume a first order reaction. So let's go ahead and recognize that have lives are independent of concentration in a first order reaction. So therefore half lives are going to be all the same throughout each different vessel. So the final answer then, for the relative half lives, Is that they're going to be 1-1-1. So this, right here is going to be my final answer for this problem.
