Sugar is fermented in a 1st order process: sugar + enzyme -> products Rate of disappearance of sugar = k[sugar]. If the half-life of this reaction is 35 minutes, what is the rate constant for this reaction? (Please indicate unit in your answer)

Spontaneity tell us the direction of the reaction, but not how fast it goes. gibbs free energy brings together enthalpy, entropy and temperature in one easy formula. g = h - ts. and, finally the sign of delta g is always negative for a spontaneous reaction.
