Elimination Rate Constant

COMPARING THE RATE CONSTANT VALUES OBTAINED

Method 1: Slope Of Graph
When you found the elimination rate constant using the slope of the graph and the equation below:
Equation
You obtained the following value for the elimination rate constant:
k = 0.172 h-1

Method 2: Equation
When you used the equation below linking elimination rate constant and half-life:
Equation
You obtained the following value for the elimination rate constant:
k = 0.173 h-1
