Consider the following initial rate data (at 293 K) for the decomposition of a substrate (substrate 1) which decomposes to product 1 and product 2:
[Substrate 1] (M) Initial Rate (M/s)
0.2 0.1178
0.4 0.2356
0.8 0.4712
Determine the half-life for the decomposition of substrate 1 when the initial concentration of the substrate is 2.12 M.
