What is Set of Three Parallel Reactions?
In a set of three parallel reactions two first order reactions takes place concurrently. Starting from a reactant (here, A) three elementary reactions take place parallelly to give products B , C and D having reaction rate constants k1, k2 and k3 respectively.
A→B , here rate constant = k1
At the same time,
A→C , here the rate constant = k2
And,
A→D , here the rate constant = k3
How to Calculate Average Life-Time for Set of Three Parallel Reactions?
Average Life-Time for Set of Three Parallel Reactions calculator uses Life Time for Parallel Reaction = 0.693/(Reaction Rate Constant 1+Reaction Rate Constant 2+Rate Constant of Reaction 3) to calculate the Life Time for Parallel Reaction, The Average Life-Time for Set of Three Parallel Reactions formula is defined as the average life time of the parallel reaction as the products are in constant ratio which is independent of the time and initial concentration of the reactant. Life Time for Parallel Reaction is denoted by t1/2av symbol.
How to calculate Average Life-Time for Set of Three Parallel Reactions using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Average Life-Time for Set of Three Parallel Reactions, enter Reaction Rate Constant 1 (k1), Reaction Rate Constant 2 (k2) & Rate Constant of Reaction 3 (k3) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Average Life-Time for Set of Three Parallel Reactions calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5377.512 = 0.693/(5.67E-06+8.87E-05+3.45E-05).
