Dans une expérience de cinétique, [...] temps requis pour que la concentration d'un réactif donné atteigne une valeur qui est la moyenne arithmétique de ses valeurs initiale et finale (à l'équilibre). Dans les cas où le réactif réagit complètement, cette concentration sera la moitié de sa valeur de départ. (Sa relation avec la concentration initiale dépend de l'ordre de la réaction. Elle n'est indépendante de la concentration initiale que pour un processus du premier ordre). 1, record 1, French, - demi%2Dvie%20cin%C3%A9tique
