This refers to how changing the concentration of reactants affects the rate at which products are formed in a chemical reaction.

Half-Life (t½): In chemistry, this is the time it takes for half of a substance to undergo a reaction or decay.

Rate Constant (k): This is a proportionality constant in the rate law that describes how fast a reaction occurs.
