Subtract the new equilibrium concentration and divide by the initial displacement:
(1)
At the halfway concentration this ratio is , so
(2)
This is the half-time of the displacement from equilibrium. It is not the time for the absolute trans concentration to fall to half its initial value; that value lies far below the attainable new equilibrium plateau. The corresponding chemical relaxation time is s.
