Kinetics of First-Order Reaction

The video tutorial explains how to solve a first-order reaction problem by deriving the integrated rate law and calculating the time required for a concentration to decay from 0.78 molar to 0.39 molar. It highlights the concept of half-life and its relation to the natural log of 2, providing insights into the mathematical approach used in physical chemistry.
