Question:medium

The time needed for completion of 80% is \( y \) times the half-life period of a first order reaction. What is the value of \( y \)?

Show Hint

For first-order reactions, the time for a certain percentage of completion can be calculated by using the rate law and the relationship between the time and half-life.
