How to Calculate Half-Life for Zero Order Reactions
*I recommend watching this in x1.25 - 1.5 speed
In this video we go over how to find the half-life of zero order reactions as well as some related questions you may be asked. As mentioned, I think its pretty valuable to be able to remember how these look on a graph (as in what the y-axis variable is). I've seen several questions that just show the graph and ask what order the reaction is, requiring you to know the formula or just have memorized the y-axis variable for that reaction order.
In the next video, we'll go over finding the half-life of first order reactions and then second-order reactions in the following video. If you'd benefit from reviewing either of those, stay tuned for more videos!
Hope this helps someone! Let me know down below if:
you have an easier way to do these
you found a mistake or want clarification on something
you found this helpful :D
I am not an expert in this topic. I am just a clinical lab scientist and life-long student who learns best from videos/visual representations and demonstration and have often turned to Youtube for help learning. My hope is that others in the same boat find and benefit from this.
