A catalyst loses half its activity in 6 months of operation. If the decay is first order in activity, what fraction remains after a year?

  • A.50 per cent
  • B.0 per cent
  • C.75 per cent
  • D.25 per cent

Answer: D

Two half lives leave a quarter of the original activity. Catalyst life is usually described this way and sets the interval between charges or regenerations. First order decay halves it each period. Two half lives leave a quarter behind.
